What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Hand?
Brief Answer:
Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Symptoms you describe ( especially worsening after sleeping ), are typical of carpal tunnel syndrome ( or compression of median nerve as it passes through the tendons of the wrist ).
First, you should have a nerve conduction study of your left arm and hand in order to evaluate the stage.
If moderate to severe nerve dysfunction, you should consult a Orthopedic surgeon or Neurosurgeon in orders to discuss the nerve decompression.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
