What Causes Numbness In The Right Arm?
My right arm goes to sleep frequently. After I awoke this AM and was reading in bed when the whole arm got numb and tingling and any change of position did nothing to reduce the sensation. I got up and dressed and it went away. Later in the day, I was driving my car and the pain and tingling sensation returned. After a while the arm returned to normal.

Hello!
Welcome on Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve, possible ulnar nerve compression.
For this reason, I recommend performing nerve conduction studies to exclude this possibility.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
