Reasons why you might experience numbness or tingling in your hands

Some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or  Guillain-Barré syndrome,  affect the nervous system. They can cause numbness and also a loss of strength.

Watch for  : gradual onset of bilateral symptoms or unusual muscle weakness.

Poor circulation: beware of the cold or atherosclerosis

Raynaud’s phenomenon causes a temporary narrowing of blood vessels, resulting in  cold, pale, or bluish hands , often accompanied by tingling. Other circulatory disorders such as atherosclerosis can also limit blood flow to the extremities.

Solution  : protect yourself from the cold, practice suitable physical activity and have your cardiovascular assessments checked.

Cysts or tumors: local pressure

A cyst (e.g.  ganglion cyst ) can compress a nerve in the hand. This can result in numbness, pain, or impaired mobility.

Diagnosis  : An ultrasound is often sufficient to detect this type of benign formation.

Nerve infections: side effects to watch out for
