What Do Tingling Sensation And Numbness In The Hands And Fingers Indicate?

I am experiencing tingling and numbness in my thumb, fingers and hands. It is in both hands. It happens at night and during the day. I noticed it a couple months ago but it is every day that is happens and I could be doing nothing and my left hand seems to be the worse so far

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you may have carpal tunnel syndrome, this tends to be worse at night.

It is due to compression of one of the nerves as it travels through the wrists to the hands.
An assessment by your doctor would determine if this is the case.

Treatment is varied, it can involve physical therapy, medication, wrist brace, surgery

I hope this helps
