Does Numbness In Hands, Arms And Finger Indicate Poor Blood Circulation?

I've noticed in the past few weeks/months that the blood circulation in my arms and finger(s) is really bad. If I crook my arm for a couple of minutes, I'll lose some of the sensation in my hand and fingers. Also, during our school play we hit on scaffolding with wooden sticks, and whenever I play, the left sides of my hands go completely numb.



Is this just bad circulation??? Is this normal? Someone said this could be a sign of a stroke! I am only 15.



Also- I just had a migraine yesterday, and during it my whole mouth went numb; including my tongue! It was so weird. Is this normal too?



Thanks!

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
There are many causes for this kind of numbness. It may be due to diabetes, some vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or some other cause. It does not looks like stroke. And it is very rare at your age. You should go for investigation first. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
