Could be a few things. The most common reason for a limb falling asleep is that you positioned the limb funny and compressed a nerve in that limb against something, causing the limb to "fall asleep." If that was not the source sometimes injuries to nerves will cause the same effect.
If your right arm goes numb, it will be pretty painful and annoying. It is common to wake up with a numb arm or hand and does not necessarily mean that it is a health issue but it does mean that the blood flow to that arm has been cut off for some reason.
One way to make your arm go numb is to lay on it to cut the blood circulation. However, Don't do this for an extended period of time.
If you burnt yourself on your wristand your arm is numb you should probably go see a medical specialist.
Because u sleep on it, Einstein.
The blood carries oxygen and nutriens throughout your body. In your case you had to hold your arm in wierd position and the blood couldn't flow into your arm what made your arm turn red/purple and go numb.
If the SAME arm & hand go numb every time you turn your head in the same direction, You need medical evaluation to include an MRI, EMG's (electric studies of your arm) and through physical examination... You could have a nerve being pinched in your neck --at the worst...
If you swung your arm yesterday and it has been numb for two days, you should see a doctor. You may have a pinched nerve.
Ask the Doc they will
Cutting off bloodflow or pressure on the nerve in your arm can cause it to "fall asleep" or go numb, as you've described.
If your arm is tingling and feeling numb it may be asleep just shake it until it feels better ! WARNING : This is only a suggestion this may not be the case !
I was wondering the same thing! My left arm hurts and tingles only when I take my once dailt addipex. Is it in my head??
Maybe you've been sleeping in the wrong position. Sleeping with you head on your arm, for example, can cut off the circulation through your arm, so therefor it goes numb. I'm not too familiar with the numb legs though, sorry. It may be an anxiety attack
put hands in cold water
ice works well
