[|Human|] Why has my right arm been falling asleep for the past 2 months. I ha e a 22 month old that is 30 pounds and I lift him and hold him with that arm. I was pregnant and miscarried 4 weeks ago. I am also over weight and was told a year ago my cholesterol was up but not enough for meds. It happens from mostly my elbow down but I do feel it in my upper arm a little. Mostly at night when I curl my arm under me. Tonight it started when I sat down for the first time leaning to the right and curling my arm. It is hard to get it to completely go away and it is partially numb now curling my arm to type this. I am nervous. There is a possibility I am pregnant again as my doctorsaid it was ok. I have Read about pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome or could it be something worse? Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hi, have read your query & understand your concern. Tingling, weakness & pain in fingers are the symptoms of carpel tunnel syn Chat Doctor.  Aggravation of symptoms on movements like . Lifting child / curling the hand back while sleeping) suggest that, the numbness in your right arm, seems to be due to nerve compression at neck (cervical rib)/ spinal level (cervical spondylosis.)  You need to consult an orthopedic doctor to specify the site of pressure by physical examination & investigations like MRI/ CT scan(as per need.) followed by specific treatment.(medicines/ physiotherapy/ surgery in few cases ) Thanks.
