Sometimes when resting, the hand is pressed by the body, and the hand numbness will be felt for a short time, but this feeling will disappear with the flow of blood.
Therefore, the feeling of hand numbness is not unfamiliar to everyone, and there are many reasons for hand numbness, which may be a common phenomenon in daily life or caused by pathological factors.
It's just that most people don't notice this and think that hand numbness is no big deal, and it will be fine after a while.
In fact, regular hand anesthesia should be a precursor to some diseases, we must pay attention to it, the following to introduce it in detail.
First, nerve compression of the upper extremities
Upper extremity nerve compression is mainly divided into two situations, one is the thumb, index finger, middle finger numbness and pain, may be caused by compression of the mid-wrist nerve, also known as carpal tunnel syndrome.
The other refers to the numbness and pain in the little finger, which is due to the blockage of the elbow nerve, which in severe cases affects the flexibility of the little finger, also known as elbow syndrome.
Therefore, when judging that the specific type belongs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and understand clearly before the symptomatic treatment plan can be determined.
Second, cervical spondylosis
If there are frequent symptoms of hand numbness, it is most likely caused by cervical spondylosis, because most patients have early symptoms of hand numbness.
In general, the cervical spine of patients with cervical spondylosis will have a certain bending phenomenon, and then the nerves near the cervical spine of the human body will be compressed, resulting in a feeling of numbness in the hands, especially those who often work with their heads down, and they need to pay more attention to this disease.
Therefore, we must pay attention to neck care, do not often bow your head, work for a period of time, you need to move activities.
Third, diabetes
High blood sugar can easily damage human blood vessels, accelerate the process of hardening and neurodegeneration of blood vessels, thereby inducing nerve inflammation, resulting in numbness in the limbs and affecting physical health.
Therefore, if the patient's hand numbness is best to go to the hospital immediately to detect blood sugar, it is also necessary to take drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and it is necessary to adjust eating habits, which is conducive to stabilizing blood sugar and improving the symptoms of hand anesthesia.
Fourth, stroke
In recent years, the incidence of stroke is getting higher and higher, and showing a trend of rejuvenation, so it must be paid great attention to in peacetime, once there are limb numbness, pain, dizziness and other manifestations, it is necessary to suspect that it is caused by stroke, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for examination, do not delay the best time to improve the disease.
This disease is the most common among middle-aged and elderly people, reminding such people that they must pay attention to keeping warm.
Fifth, transient cerebral ischemia
This disease is sudden and is a common disease in the elderly, often accompanied by symptoms such as limb weakness, numbness, dizziness, and headache.
The general pathogenesis is caused by the detachment of microembolites in the wall of cerebral arteries, narrowing of cerebral arteries, and severe blood pressure drop and cerebral vascular spasm, so it is necessary to seek medical attention early and comprehensively screen for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, etc., so as to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
I believe that everyone has encountered the problem of hand anesthesia, sometimes how to judge that hand anesthesia is a pathological factor, should be judged according to the frequency and severity of occurrence.
If it happens frequently, it should be checked and treated as soon as possible, especially in people with underlying diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperglycemia.
Of course, everyone does not want to worry too much, as long as the problem can be found in time and improved through active treatment, in most cases, hand numbness will not cause more serious problems.
