What Causes Tingling And Numbness In The Right Hand?
I am a 35 year old woman and the last couple of weeks i have been experiencing tingling or numbness in my right arm and hand. It comes and goes but seems to be getting more frequent and lasting longer. I also have had some tingling and numbness in my upper right lip. I am not sure if this is something I should worry about or not.

Hello,
You should be concerned about your tingling and numbness in hand, arm, and lip.
It can be a peripheral neuropathy problem. For that, your detailed neurological evaluation should be done.
It's advisable to investigate with serum random blood sugar estimation and serum B12 estimation for primary work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
