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.

Are vitamin B12 injections painful?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I need assistance regarding foods and supplements to help recover my vitamin levels, which are very low according to my recent report (screenshot attached). I have also been experiencing severe back pain since August 2019, and it is been almost a year now. I am not sure what to do. Please suggest some advice or guidance.
