Occasional tingling in hands
by Joe
(Hbg, Penna)
About every other night or so, I am waking up in middle of night to tingling in either one or both hands. It started over a month ago with only part of a hand tingling but of lately it is the whole hand. And most of the day my arms feel uncomfortable, kind of achy (feels burny and tired). I also notice that i am more nervous (jittery). And can not relax.
Hello Joe,
There are in reality numerous possible causes of the tingling. In which part of the hand did the tingling start? Do you have neck pain? Does placing your hand on your head increase or relieve the tingling.
I'm afraid only a careful thorough exam (preferably by your local chiropractor!) will discover the cause. If it's affecting your whole hand then a "thoracic outlet syndrome" is a likely cause. Use the search facillity at C-H to read about it.
Get some X-rays of your neck, including "obliques".
