If your hands are falling asleep at night, that suggests inadequate blood circulation rather than carpal tunnel syndrome. Quite possibly you are not holding your arms in a good position to promote blood circulation. Do not bend the elbows; straight arms are less constricting to blood vessels.
On the other hand, some early symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome can be mistaken for things like poor circulation in the hands ( and hands falling asleep).
Tingling in the arm is usually paresthesiae, that "pins and needles" feeling one gets when falling asleep on the arm for example. Tingling also can happen in the right arm when Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is present.
Yes, hands falling asleep can be related to hypothyroidism, as this condition can lead to nerve compression due to fluid retention and swelling. Additionally, hypothyroidism may contribute to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, which can cause numbness and tingling in the hands. However, other causes, such as poor circulation or repetitive strain, should also be considered. If symptoms persist, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.

Probably not. It really depends on your definition of severe. Some people feel that they have severe symptoms but in reality their NCS (nerve conduction studies) are reported out as mild and a large portion of their symptoms are related to tendonitis etc..However, If you actually have NCS/EMG studies showing severe CTS and symptoms for longer than 3 months, then you will need carpal tunnel release
YES.
