Does this often happen to you when you wake up, or when you hold your smartphone for too long? This strange tingling or prickling sensation in your hands is much more common than you might think. While harmless in some cases, it can also be a subtle message from your body that's worth listening to… Before you worry, why not talk about it?
Why do my hands go numb? The most common causes
Who hasn't ever felt a "numb" hand , almost as if it no longer belonged to them? This can happen simply by sleeping in an awkward position or resting on your arm for too long. Don't worry : in these cases, everything returns to normal within a few minutes.
But when this happens often, several times a week, without any obvious reason… it may be a sign that your body is sending you a little reminder.
Here are the most common causes to be aware of:
- Prolonged poor posture : in bed, in front of the computer, or using your phone while lying down , can compress a nerve without you realizing it.
- Repetitive movements : DIY, sewing, keyboard… anything that puts a lot of strain on the wrists can tire the nerves.
- Stress and nervous tension : anxiety influences circulation and bodily sensitivity.
- Fatigue or vitamin deficiencies : in particular B vitamins , essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
