What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness In Hands When Electric Devices Are Touched?

Hi Dr . Rakhi, I have been consulting you for some time now and felt great satisfaction and relief.I have a major concern. I am 22 weeks pregnant and also started feeling baby movements .This is a very strange query but thought of asking you. Every time I touch any electric switch at home or for that matter computer mouse, I feel strange pain, tingling sensation and numbness in my right hand.For that matter, today I touched the kitchen tap and again felt that strange feeling of numbness, pain in my right hand . It is only with my right hand and not left hand . I am not able to figure out whether I receive electric shocks or what . When I am not doing anything, there is no pain or numbness in my both arms , but the moment I touch anything electrical or even water tap, i feel that strange feeling.Really worried and hope my baby is fine . It is my first child and have read in internet electric current can cause major problems in baby.I had my ultrasound at 20 week and everything was normal.Should I get my scan done again? Please help.

Hi

Numbness is due impairment of conduction in the nerve, it is generally due to compression of nerve. so start doing relaxing exercise or consult neurologist.
