If I hang my arm off the side of the bed, the feeling comes back and the numbness fades. Also, this only happens when I'm in bed. I've also been told that I have low blood pressure. But to my knowledge, I have no ailments that would account for this condition. Thanks in advance for any insight you might have.
Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist.
The numbness could also result from your sleeping position. But whatever the cause, these symptoms are a red flag and should not be ignored. A visit to your family doctor, neurologist, or orthopedist is in order. Greg, please let me know the outcome of your doctor visits. Live long and prosper, yourself.
