Hello,

As I understand from the history this should be just a change of posture led to nerve entrapment temporary. This will get over on its own without anything much to worry about. But if the symptoms are prolonging for longer than we might need to do some blood routine to rule out any pathophysiological changes in the body. Till then just observe the symptoms and wait and see if it's increasing of reducing.

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