What Causes Tingling Sensation In Left Hand In An Elderly Man?

could be a stroke or other disorders
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
his condition can be attributed to any of the following:
- nerve injury by applying pressure on it for a long time, like sleeping on it. It usually gets better with time. It may take a few days though.
- cervical spine problems like a protruded disc which applies pressure on the nerves of the hand.
- nerve entrapment, which does not seem very likely since it started somewhat suddenly.
- and a stroke of course, since he already has a history of stroke, which makes him a candidate for more strokes in the future.
He should be examined by a neurologist to determine the distribution of the nerve damage. The distribution can be used to localized the injury and help with the diagnosis.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
