Why are my fingers numb?

What is the reason for numb fingers? Many friends experience numbness in their hands when they get up in the morning or at other times. They don’t know what causes it, but numbness in the hands is relatively rare. Numbness in the hands or legs is more common. So if this phenomenon occurs, it means that there must be something wrong with your body. Everyone must pay attention to this. It is possible that some disease in the body is sending a warning to the body, making you alert.

There are many reasons that can cause numbness in the fingers, especially in the elderly. Most of the time, it is caused by stroke, hemiplegia, neurological diseases, diabetes and other diseases. Therefore, we must pay enough attention to it. We should exercise regularly in daily life, exercise the upper limbs and neck more appropriately, avoid excessive exercise, and proceed step by step. If you already have numbness in your hands, you can also cooperate with physical therapy, acupuncture and other treatments.

1 Why are my fingers numb?

After lifting heavy objects

I don’t know if you have ever had this feeling. Every time you lift something heavy, walk a distance without rest, and repeat it several times, or some people with poor physical strength cannot lift it a long distance, they will find that their fingers are numb and a little out of control. This is caused by fatigue, and usually they will recover after a rest.

2. Long-term malnutrition

Long-term malnutrition and indigestion lead to insufficient nutrition and vitamin B1 deficiency. Long-term vitamin B1 deficiency can lead to peripheral neuritis, causing numbness in the fingers, which is common in elderly people.

3. Chronic alcoholism

Moderate drinking is good for health, but long-term alcoholism can cause chronic alcohol poisoning, which can cause disorders in the body's physiological function systems and lead to disorders in the nervous system, resulting in symptoms such as numbness in the fingers. This kind of friend must stop drinking!

4 Menopausal syndrome

Friends who have numbness in their fingers may want to pay attention to whether it is menopause, because menopause may also cause symptoms of numbness in the hands, which are generally not very obvious. With the end of menopause, the symptoms of numbness in the fingers will also disappear.

5. Cervical Spondylosis

Patients who often experience numbness in their fingers usually have problems with the cervical spine. The neck is rich in nerves and is an important location for the central nervous system that connects various parts of the body to the brain. When friends have problems with the cervical spine, such as cervical spondylosis, it will cause compression of adjacent nerve roots, leading to numbness in the hands.

6. Stroke

Stroke patients often experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, limb numbness, and tongue swelling.

Everyone knows what causes numb fingers, so numbness in the hands must not be ignored. Early diagnosis and treatment can control the condition and allow recovery to occur faster. Especially if there are elderly people at home, you must pay more attention to it in daily life.
