When I Wake Up Sometimes And I Sleep On My
Question: When I wake up sometimes and I sleep on my left shoulder. Sometimes there is swelling on my eight arm which seems the blood or fluids have pooled in that area. What does it mean is it dangerous?
Brief Answer:
It is quite common and nothing to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It is quite common and nothing to worry about it.
When you sleep one side the blood and fluid will get collected on one that side and it will settle by itself.
If you are worried, you can go for an ultrasound just for reassurance.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
