What Causes Numbness And Tingling In Arms?

I ve recently been getting surges of hot through my arms ending in my hands... They last less than a few seconds and happen every so often, mostly in the evening and night. And the last few months my hands and arms go numb and tingly very easily. In the morning my left hand takes about 30 mins to get feeling back in them. Carpal tunnel syndrome seems the most logical but not 100%. ** i work as a mail carrier**

You could have cervical spondylosis. Get an xray of the c spine and MRI if needed later. Try neck exercises if the diagnosis is confirmed. An ncv diagnoses carpal tunnel but your symptoms suggest otherwise.
