The doctor explained the causes of numbness of the hands at night
A feeling of numbness in one or both hands after sleeping, uncomfortable sitting or physical exertion indicates disorders in the body. Artyom Baryshev, a neurologist at the SM Clinic, told Gazeta about this on May 15.Ru».
The expert explained that the cervical-thoracic spine is the most mobile and at the same time is subjected to the greatest mechanical stress, since it adapts the body to changing conditions.
For example, if pain and numbness occur on one side, it is probably caused by overloading of the shoulder and shoulder blade or pinching of the nerve root in the cervical region, Baryshev noted. Numbness in both arms may indicate lower back dysfunction, due to which the upper spine compensates for the load. Discomfort after prolonged computer work, according to the doctor, indicates a possible deterioration in vision, as the neck muscles strain to stabilize the eyes.
The specialist noted that each case requires an individual approach to treatment and accurate diagnosis. In addition, if symptoms occur suddenly and are not stopped by anti-inflammatory drugs, this may signal serious disorders that need to be identified in a timely manner.
As Baryshev pointed out, depending on the dynamics of symptoms, the doctor may prescribe additional tests, including MRI or gastroscopy. Therefore, the expert called for describing your condition in as much detail as possible to a specialist and avoiding self-medication.
Earlier that day, Vladimir Neronov, a gastroenterologist at JSC "Medicine" (Academician Roitberg Clinic), MD, said that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure caused by a height difference is dangerous. According to him, the diaphragm and abdominal wall muscles create mechanical pressure, which, combined with the passenger's sitting position, limited space and weakness of the muscular frame, can lead to dystopia of internal organs — their displacement into an uncharacteristic position.
