What Causes Intermittent Numbness In Fingers?
Hi Docs, On two different occasions I awoke to numbness in the ring and pinky fingers of my right hand. The first time this occurred I assumed I slept the wrong way/on them. Now, that it has happened a second time, I am concerned that it may be a sign of something more serious like diabetes, which runs in my family both mom and dad side. The numb feeling last for hours. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about? I am 35, and 5 3 , and weighing about 180 :(
