Hello,

It is due to nerve compression caused by sleeping in an abnormal position. Generally, it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
