I experience numbness in the fingers of my hand when I wake up. My blood reports are normal, and I do not have diabetes. I also performed the Phalen test, which did not indicate symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Please advise what could be causing this and what I should do
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Finger numbness on waking can be due to nerve compression from sleep posture or vitamin deficiencies. Normal Phalens test reduces the chance of carpal tunnel. Avoid sleeping with wrists bent, and gently stretch fingers and wrists. Check Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels to rule out deficiencies that can cause nerve symptoms. If numbness persists or worsens, consult a neurologist.
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

My skin is oily and sensitive, and I have been facing this problem for the last 5 to 6 years. I get a lot of acne on my forehead, and my face looks very dull. Day by day, my skin tone is also becoming darker. My LFT, KFT, and thyroid reports are all normal. Please suggest what I can do.
