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

I am experiencing dryness and tingling sensations in my palms and feet, which sometimes itch. I also feel tingling in my hands while sleeping and notice some liquid dripping from my fingers. My nerve conduction test report came back normal, but I have vitamin D deficiency. Please suggest what additional tests I should undergo to identify the exact cause of these symptoms, along with any treatment recommendations. Thanks in advance.
