What Causes Numbness In The Right Hand During Sleep While On ICD Implant?

I am type 2 diabetic with an implanted ICD. My right hand keeps falling asleep while i am sleeping. It wakes me up several times a night, and takes 10 -15 minutes to feel normal again. I also get a sensation of heat while this is happening. Any ideas?

Nerves have their own blood supply around the outside, so pressure on a nerve cuts off that blood supply and the nerve eventually is starved for oxygen and nutrients, making the nerve shut down. If this happens for a short period of time, the nerve just wakes up again once the pressure is removed

Causes

1. cervicalstenosis or a disc bulge,

2.thoracic outlet syndrome
3.carpal tunnel syndrome
4.diabetic neymuropathy

Get control of blood sugar levels
Regular exercise and Physiotherapy
Tab. Pregaba75mg may help
If symptoms not improved consult your physician.
