The most unpleasant thing when your fingers go numb is a beginning panic. After all, more often people think that this is due to heart problems. However, many do not know that the satellites of numbness of the extremities can be chilliness, burning, tightening and tingling. And similar symptoms are characteristic of a number of serious diseases, such as:
• transient ischemic attacks, when numbness can touch one arm or leg, a particular part of the body
• migraine
• impaired blood flow in the leg or arm
• diabetes
• rheumatoid arthritis, when a temporary nerve damage becomes permanent over time, and joint deformation occurs
• osteoporosis or the presence of intervertebral hernias
• a number of hereditary diseases that are associated with damage to the nerve centers.
Those who have at least once encountered the fact that their fingers are numb, know how difficult it is to decide to go to the doctor, and wait: after all, everything will probably go away on its own, as it has been so far. Indeed, if numbness attacks are rare, then there is no reason to panic, however, if they are regular, and in addition with pain, then you must consult 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 warm water from cold, hurry to a neurologist.
The most likely cause of the toes becoming numb may be vascular disease of arteries or veins. The insidiousness of this disease is that inflammation of the membranes of the vessels or the development of obstruction of the arteries (obliterating atherosclerosis, stroke or Raynaud's disease) are possible. If not treated, it can end with gangrene of the legs.
When the fingers of the right hand go numb, it can be assumed that nerves are injured due to tunnel neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome. Numbness of the hands is also very widespread. The cause may be the compression of some nerves, which play an important role in the supply of blood to the median nerve. Moreover, at the beginning of the disease, the fingers become numb, then the palms, all hands begin to go numb, and over time this can transform into pain that occurs in the morning or at night. Over time, the pain does not subside during the day, but intensifies when the arms are raised up. Those who do not want to see a doctor to diagnose a disease and prevent its development run the risk of facing very negative consequences.
