Reasons why you might experience numbness or tingling in your hands

Tingling or numbness in the hands—often described as pins and needles—can be temporary or persistent. Depending on their duration and intensity, they are sometimes linked to poor posture… or, conversely, indicate an imbalance or pathology. So, how can you tell if it’s benign or more serious? Here are the main causes to be aware of.

Who hasn’t slept with their arm folded under their pillow? The result when you wake up is that your hand is numb, as if it’s « dead. » This sensation is linked to  temporary nerve compression  that limits blood circulation. Fortunately, it disappears within a few minutes if you change position.

Helpful tip  : Use an ergonomic pillow and avoid sleeping with your arm under your head.
