numbness in hands and feet
Many times, as soon as you wake up in the morning, you feel as if one hand has become numb or has fallen asleep? Although it is normal for this to happen for a short period of time, this condition can occur due to nerve pressure. But sometimes this may also be due to some serious health problems developing in the body. As soon as you wake up, your hands and legs start getting prickling like needles and your hands and feet start becoming numb, then it could be a nerve related problem. Many times you sleep in such a position that puts pressure on the nerves. This can also happen due to reduced blood flow during sleep. Apart from this, there can be these reasons also.

Carpal tunnel syndrome Diabetes Rheumatoid arthritis Tumor or cyst in the wrist Underactive thyroid gland Changes in hormones Menopause or pregnancy Any infection Vitamin deficiency Excessive alcohol consumption Any injury or taking medications
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve in the wrist becomes compressed or pinched. This can cause numbness, tingling and pain in the hands and fingers. This feeling starts especially in the thumb and fingers. This is more likely to happen to people who use typing or equipment operated with specific fingers. People who do this for a long time start getting stressed on their nerves.
Exercise to remove numbness of hands and feet in the morning
If you feel like this, then doing some exercise after waking up in the morning can provide relief. Like you wake up in the morning and do warm-up stretching. In this, rotate your wrist up, down and from one side to the other. Spread your fingers far apart, relax them, and then spread them again. Pull your thumb back by gently pulling it back, holding it, and releasing it. Stand on your toes and stretch. Rotate toes.
