What to do if your fingers grow numb

The most unpleasant thing is when your fingers grow numb, it's a beginning panic. After all, more often people think that this is due to heart problems. However, many do not know that the companions of the numbness of the limbs may be chilliness, burning, constriction and tingling. And similar symptoms are typical for a number of serious diseases, such as:

• transient ischemic attacks, when numbness can touch one arm or leg, of a particular part of the body

• migraines

• violation of blood flow in the leg or arm region

• diabetes

• rheumatoid arthritis, when temporary damage to the nerves becomes permanent over time, and joints deform

• Osteoporosis or presence of intervertebral hernia

• a number of hereditary diseases that are associated with the defeat of nerve centers.

Those who have ever come across the fact that their fingers are numb, know how difficult it is to decide to go to a doctor, and they are waiting: it is possible that everything will pass by itself, as it has been so far. Indeed, if the attacks of numbness are rare, then there is no point to panic, but if they are regular, and in addition and with a pain syndrome, then you need to see a doctor. In addition to pain, weakness is possible, as well as loss of sensitivity and impaired coordination of movements. In the event that you can not distinguish between warm water and cold, hurry to the neurologist.

The most likely reason that your toes grow numb may be a disease of the vessels of the arteries or veins. The insidiousness of this disease is that inflammation of the vascular envelopes or the development of arterial obstruction (obliterating atherosclerosis, stroke or Raynaud's disease) are possible. If you do not heal, all this can end in gangrene.

When the fingers of the right arm grow numb, it can be assumed that nerves are injured, due to tunnel neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome. Also, the numbness of the hands is very common. The cause may be the contraction of certain nerves, which play an important role in supplying the blood of the median nerve. And at first the fingers grow numb, then the palms begin to grow dumb, all hands, and eventually it can transform into pain arising in the morning or at night. Over time, pain does not subside in the daytime, but intensifies when hands are raised upwards. Those who do not want to see a doctor to diagnose the disease and prevent its development, run the risk of facing very negative consequences.
