What are the causes of numbness in the left arm and leg? The attending physician will tell the patient about this. Most often, numbness of the left arm and leg occurs in people of working age. Symptoms include burning and a feeling of cold. Sometimes this is not an independent disease, but a disease of the spine, blood vessels or nervous system. It is worth considering the fact that the causes of numbness in the left arm and leg can be hereditary or acquired, which is associated with leading an unhealthy lifestyle.
Numbness of the limbs is an alarming symptom, so you should go to the hospital. This may be a sign of the development of many diseases, which can only be detected by a doctor after establishing the causes of numbness in the left leg or arm.
When the left arm often goes numb, this is a signal indicating the development of diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. The following pathologies need to be treated:
Ischemia provokes constant numbness of the left arm when angina pectoris occurs. At the same time, discomfort occurs in the chest and heart area, resulting in numbness in the hand, shoulder and forearm. Sometimes, with coronary artery disease, after severe physical fatigue, angina pectoris occurs and a feeling that the limbs are numb. You can relieve the condition and relieve pain with Nitroglycerin (injection).
Myocardial infarction is manifested by numbness of the left arm. It is this symptom that you need to pay attention to, since such a cardiovascular disease occurs without pronounced symptoms. It is impossible to eliminate pain and numbness at home; you must urgently call an ambulance.
A fairly common cause of numbness in the extremities is neuropathy, when an arm or leg becomes numb due to diabetes or multiple sclerosis.
With atherosclerosis, the hand also becomes numb as the arteries narrow. The limb may lose sensation and strength. This usually occurs when a person is working and the left arm is raised. The disease is typical for people over 50 years of age. They often experience weakness, fatigue, convulsions, and a feeling of “stiffness” that occurs in the tissues of the spinal cord and brain.
Neuropathy also manifests itself as Reine's disease, when a serious circulatory disorder occurs in the leg. Associated conditions include increased levels of spasms and swelling. When joints become infected, nerves become pinched, limbs become deformed, and the left leg may become numb, swollen, and painful.
Numbness occurs when the right hemisphere of the brain is damaged. Dysfunction of the left leg and arm occurs, vision, speech and hearing are affected, which can result in a stroke. Such symptoms require immediate medical intervention, since a brain stroke can cause paralysis of the nervous system or other organs of the body.
Wrong lifestyle. Problems with impaired sensitivity in the left arm or leg, which require immediate treatment, can also cause the development of chronic inflammatory processes. For example, a person has osteochondrosis, which is localized in the cervical or thoracic spine. First the fingers begin to go numb, and then weakness sets in in the limbs. The patient cannot clench his hand or bend his leg, and pain often occurs. Soreness can spread to the shoulder, hip and other parts of the body.
The risk group includes patients suffering from dysfunction of nerves and blood vessels, which causes numbness. Such factors may be:
Treatment of such conditions is possible only after a thorough diagnosis carried out by a cardiologist, neurologist, or vertebrologist.
Treatment and prevention. The cause of such conditions can be determined through diagnostics, clinical tests, and medical history. It is necessary to adhere to some preventive measures. It is imperative to stop smoking, since nicotine has a negative effect on the body, poisoning it and possibly causing death. This is due to the fact that the blood vessels responsible for blood circulation in the brain, heart and other equally important organs experience spasms and pain. Along with smoking, you should stop drinking strong tea, coffee and alcohol.
As a preventive measure, you need to eat a lot of hot food, in particular porridge. Among them, buckwheat and oatmeal are considered healthy, and you should have sprouted grains for breakfast. The diet should be enriched with iron and other microelements. Hardening improves immunity well. To do this you need to jog, skate and ski. This improves blood flow to the limbs.
You can also relieve and eliminate the symptoms of numbness in your left arm and leg using folk remedies. You need to do contrast baths. To do this, place two containers with cold and hot water next to each other. The leg and arm should be lowered in turn, first into one bath, then into the other. Keep your limbs in the water for no more than 30 seconds. Repeat for several minutes. Then lubricate your arm and leg with turpentine ointment and wrap it in something warm. The procedures are repeated for 10 days.
You can use honey wrap, but only at night. A thin layer of honey is applied to areas that often go numb and wrapped in a soft cloth. You need to repeat 3 or 4 times.
You can rub your arm and leg with camphor ointment until they become slightly red. This should only be done before bed.
Good afternoon, lately I have been worried about a problem. It all started one morning, I woke up and realized that I was very dizzy, I was still lying in bed. Then I stood up, feeling nauseous and dizzy. Also, my left arm and leg became partially numb for about 20 minutes. I came away from all this only after a couple of days. 2 weeks have passed, sometimes I wake up at night and feel numbness in my left arm or leg. What is the reason, what should I check? I am 23 years old, at the age of 13 I had a concussion and scoliosis. Office work, I don’t move much. Knowledgeable people, tell me, otherwise this is something serious
Go to the doctor, they’ll help you, they’ll just make you fast.
You need to see a neurologist, and urgently! There can be many reasons, for example, a stroke often happens, and this is a harbinger, especially since you had an injury.
This is exactly what is very similar to a stroke.
Author, they may frighten you here with assumptions so that it will become even worse simply from nerves. Go to the doctor.
Don't be scared by not knowing the symptoms of a stroke. just to pull it in. the author is neuralgia or the heart is playing naughty. It's not scary, but see a doctor. necessary
for a heart attack. The symptoms of a stroke are completely different. dizziness, incoherent speech, crooked smile. What does numbness in my legs have to do with it?
This is how multiple sclerosis begins, you need to urgently see a doctor, because at the initial stage everything is easier to treat and maintain.
Go to a neurologist, don’t delay.
To the doctor. You may have already had a mini-stroke or will soon have one. You may have serious problems with your spine (which can cause a stroke). Perhaps it's the heart.
Author, there is a standard scheme for each disease, which is observed in the majority. And there is a specific person for whom everything may not be according to this scheme. So see a doctor for an examination.
Neuralgia in its purest form! Why are you scared? What kind of stroke? It’s all from the spine and the head is spinning and the limbs are going numb. This is not fatal, you just need to see a neurologist and he will prescribe treatment. Exercise therapy, massage and physiotherapy are a must! Insist on sending! Get well!
I also thought that it looked like a stroke or a mini-stroke, but then I read about cervical osteochondrosis, it seems like some artery in the neck is healing, blood flows poorly to the brain, this can also cause a stroke

Thank you! I will look for money for a doctor(
how to check this?
Thanks, that's about what I think. And to which doctor? Neurologist?
Start with a neurologist or at least a therapist.
A stroke can also happen from the spine! The vessels in the neck that feed the brain will be pinched and this is a harbinger of a stroke.
If you don’t know, strokes can be not only in the brain, and heart attacks not only in the heart.
Our doctors are free
If you are a citizen of the Russian Federation and have a medical certificate, then try to join any clinic!
I work in Moscow, there is no registration, I need to go to a paid one, then I’ll probably have to do an MRI too
if you are Russian, you can at least get free treatment in Kamchatka
Russian, of course, from a neighboring region, I just heard stories about being attached to Moscow clinics, it’s easier to find money
Go to the nearest clinic with an insurance policy, they are required to attach you. You didn’t even try, according to all the laws they can’t refuse to accept you.
And what are these stories? I haven’t tried it myself, but I know that everything is great with you. Just to blurt it out!
I agree completely. Urgently see a neurologist.
The stroke “looked younger”—that’s what the doctor told me when I came in with those same symptoms. It’s good that he was excluded after the examination, but such things must be taken seriously.
Urgently see a cardiologist.
Be sure to get an MRI, it could be multiple sclerosis
but first see a neurologist to check your reflexes
Neurologist - MRI of the head and cervical spine. And no chiropractors until a complete examination! Get well!
Author, go to the hospital immediately!
+1 And the sooner the better
My mother is now suffering from a stroke with these symptoms, and it’s not a fact that she will get up at all. Don't delay with this. To a neurologist.
Either toxicosis or high sugar.
Definitely see a doctor. stroke, or pinched nerve. I had similar numbness, I suspected absent-mindedly, but I am a VSD person, so my legs grow from there as a problem. Maybe you also just have VSD.
Onset of multiple sclerosis
Yes, most likely there is a pinched nerve somewhere.
That's for sure. An acquaintance is 24 years old, the desired pregnancy is 6 months. and suddenly a micro-stroke. Fortunately, everything worked out fine.
There are problems with the nervous system and back - osteochondrosis, scoliosis. Go to a neurologist, don’t delay.
When my left arm went numb and there was pain in the heart area, I also had thoughts about strokes and heart attacks. But it turned out to be simpler - cervical osteochondrosis, which massage therapist and chiropractor Vyacheslav Vitalievich Kan helped me cope with.

The left hand goes numb for completely harmless reasons and due to diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. If discomfort occurs extremely rarely, the unpleasant sensation can be associated with a specific event, then there is no need to worry. You change your position, do a couple of movements (“get the blood flowing”) - everything goes away. To prevent this from happening again, analyze your lifestyle.
Prolonged paresthesia, accompanied by pain, spreading to other parts of the body, should be alarming. Moreover, the sensations cannot be associated with injuries, work, sports or uncomfortable posture. It's all about a serious illness. Let's take a closer look at why the left hand goes numb.
Numbness in the left hand is not always associated with illness. Discomfort is explained by impaired blood supply to nerve fibers and muscle tissue. Why is this happening:
The muscles are compressed by uncomfortable and tight clothing, a heavy bag, backpack, etc. Even a tight tonometer cuff (when measuring blood pressure) can provoke short-term paresthesia.
Bad pose . If your left hand goes numb in the morning, it means there was a lot of pressure on it at night. The habit of sleeping on your stomach, placing a limb under you, leads to a decrease in sensitivity. When a girl sleeps on her shoulder, blood circulation also suffers.
If you sit for a long time with your arm over the back of the chair, the blood vessels and nerve endings are compressed. Blood supply is disrupted. At the same time, the limb becomes cold and “goosebumps” appear.
Excessive activity of muscles and tendons . For needlewomen, pianists, and people who work a lot on the computer, the hand is under constant tension. This is why numbness occurs in the fingers on the left hand (if the main load falls on this side).
Long training, hard physical labor . During intensive training, the heart cannot cope with the blood supply to the muscles of the limb. The left arm is taken away when it is raised above the heart line for a long time.
Constriction of blood vessels in cold weather . Paresthesia is experienced by people who have congenital narrowing of the ulnar or brachial arteries.
A frequent companion to a sedentary lifestyle is insufficient blood supply to all organs and tissues. Hence the periodic numbness of the limbs. More movement means better blood supply to the vessels.
Loss of sensation in the hand, forearm, or entire limb may indicate serious pathologies of the blood vessels, spinal cord, heart and other internal organs. It is necessary to look for specific causes of numbness with a doctor. The specialist studies the clinic in detail, prescribes examinations - makes the correct diagnosis and determines treatment.
The information provided below is for informational purposes only.
Numbness is caused by a deficiency of vitamins A and B. Due to the lack of these substances, metabolism is disrupted, as a result of which the nerve sheath is damaged. Loss of sensation leads to paresthesia.
Cholesterol plaques clog blood vessels throughout the body. With severe atherosclerosis, approximately 60% of the vascular bed is damaged. Blood movement becomes difficult.
The pathological process can be clearly expressed in certain parts of the body. If it is the ulnar or brachial artery on the left, then the arm goes numb. Atherosclerosis develops after 40 years.
medications prescribed by a doctor (modern drugs cope quite successfully with atherosclerosis);
surgical methods (in case of serious blockage, surgical intervention is prescribed - bypass surgery, vessel replacement, etc.).
The patient is recommended to change his diet (more vegetables, fruits - less fatty foods), and move more often.
Degenerative destruction of vertebrae, joints, ligaments, intervertebral discs. When dystrophy worsens, pathological mobility of the spine develops - nerve fibers and blood vessels are pinched. Paresthesia is caused by pathology of the lower cervical zone.
Treatment methods for osteochondrosis:
The disease affects operators, office workers, needlewomen, painters and other manual workers. Due to the high load on the carpal tendon, the median nerve swells.
Far advanced stage of progressive angina. Occurs due to stress, insufficient treatment, smoking, fatty diet, age, etc. The release of blood into the peripheral vessels decreases - first, paresthesia of the ring finger is felt, then the little finger of the left hand goes numb.
Other signs of an impending myocardial infarction:
Such a clinical picture requires urgent consultation with a doctor. In a hospital setting, the attack is stopped and long-term treatment is prescribed.
When an artery is blocked by a blood clot or a large vessel ruptures, a stroke develops. With pathology, the little and ring fingers on one hand, the muscles of the face, and legs (also on one side) often lose sensitivity.
If such symptoms occur, you should urgently call an ambulance. Delayed treatment is fraught with persistent functional disorders. Already when one little finger on the left hand goes numb, you need to worry.
Hand injury and traumatic brain injury sometimes lead to paresthesia. My hand goes numb and hurts. Other unpleasant symptoms appear:
With head injuries, the patient feels weak and nauseous. Hands may also become numb due to neck injuries.
Why do the fingers on the left hand go numb after an injury:
After injuries or surgeries, hands need to be developed. For recovery, the doctor prescribes physiotherapeutic procedures, massage, and acupuncture.
There are many reasons for numbness in the left hand. If the unpleasant sensation bothers you constantly, pain appears, you should immediately see a doctor.
The baby is kicking actively today, as if he has no strength at all today (he’s dizzy, he’s going to have a fever, his left leg is going numb in the pubic area, his arms and body are shaking a little, out of fear that it might be the sweatpants?
Girls, hello. I'm 37, and so is my husband. First IVF protocol. I am writing a diary so as not to get lost. 24.05. There was an egg puncture. 27.05. We received 5 eggs. 3 embryos. Today the doctor called and said that there are only 2 left and they are lagging behind in development, but still offers to reschedule them tomorrow, and this will already be the 4th day. 28.05. 2 morulae 9B were transferred. During the transplant, the doctor said so, let's give them a chance, although they are both not very good. The transplant was painless. After 30 minutes she lay in a column. From.
Girls, I started losing weight after 32 weeks. Now I’m 34, and in a week I’ve already lost 1 kg. Moreover, my stomach is growing, and my sides and butt are shrinking. On the one hand, this is not bad, on the other hand, why would it be? I didn’t change my diet or diet. Is this normal at all? It also looks like a nerve has been pinched somewhere. The big toe on the right foot and the little finger on the left hand are numb and painful. It feels like when you hit yourself hard with your elbow, right on a nerve.((((So what.
For two days the fingers of my right hand have been very numb, it’s just guard duty. The left one also goes numb, but much less. They go numb, as if they had been lying down, as if they were piercing with needles, it’s simply impossible. to tears. It goes numb even when I just sit and do nothing. and if you do something with your hand (and it’s your right hand), then the hand is immediately taken away. My legs are swelling, I take Canephron. Girls, who had or has something similar with their hands, what to do, how to escape?? In fact, we have to walk for two more weeks. I'll die.
I don’t know how to live another 2 weeks, no, seriously. it's just some kind of test. 1. HUGE BElly. Coolant last Mon. was 100 cm, VDM - 42. I even asked “how much.” “I just never heard anything more than 40 cm, but here it is. Upon entering the ECG on the same day, the nurse enthusiastically exclaimed “oh, you have twins, right?!” but no, you didn’t guess right. 2. JOINTS. It's just a nightmare. All the joints in my body hurt. Of course, the fingers are especially affected.
That’s why the left ovary hurts, I can understand - there’s a corpus luteum cyst there. Why does it hurt on the right side and only after I sit and get up? The pain is so sharp, shooting, then it hurts just a little and stops. My lower back still hurts. Broken tooth. My left leg is going numb. While taking a bath, veins appear on the palms, and the hands turn dark blue! I think I’m falling apart)))) Does anyone have something similar?)) Or how to deal with it?
girls, it all started on Sunday, their legs began to ache, maybe even due to the weather, or maybe their periods should come, in short, I don’t know, but this condition infuriates me terribly. I was sick for another 2 weeks, there was no fever. but there was a terrible cough and a stuffy nose, and there was terrible weakness. It just got better today. I got nervous in the evening. I had a fight with my husband and my left leg started to ache again and my left arm somehow went numb. Right now I’m lying down and don’t know where to put my leg.
During pregnancy, my limbs often went numb: my fingers and toes, and my calves also had severe cramps.
At first my legs just started to hurt when I got up after sleep, now they started to go terribly numb, especially my fingers, my right hand is going numb, and I have such unpleasant sensations that I can’t sleep. the veins in the left leg are pulled, the pain is like after a cramp in the calves. With what it can be connected? Are we still on GW?
I haven’t written something for a long time, about my weeks. So today we have a weight gain of +2.5 kg (this is from pre-pregnancy), and if we take it from my weight loss after toxicosis, then +8 kg. We went for a 3D ultrasound. My little son looks like his dad, but my arms and legs) were sitting on my butt on 05/04/16. On 05/13/16, at the appointment, the doctor said that he most likely rolled over, because... the heart was at the bottom. And today it looks like he’s lying sideways. And under the right rib (or whatever) it kicks painfully. I don't sleep well at night. Not.
All my friends and acquaintances who have given birth write to me: “Pregnancy is wonderful!”, “Enjoy your condition!”, “Pregnancy is the best thing that can happen!” These enthusiastic statements make me feel wrong. And I begin to suspect that all those who gave birth have this conspiracy - to mock those who are still pregnant. Well, or, as an option, everyone’s pregnancy was so happy and easy that the girls fluttered like rainbow unicorns and joyfully pooped butterflies. For example, I cannot now, at the end of the 7th month, enjoy pregnancy. Because.
Well, the third trimester has begun. Photo and report under the cut)

It became impossible to sleep. No, I don't have insomnia. I fall asleep quickly, but I can’t sleep in one position for more than an hour. The only thing is that I can still sleep on my back with ease; my stomach does not cause any discomfort. But with the sides there are problems))))) on the left it’s comfortable for me to sleep, but the belly-dweller is not very comfortable) he begins to be indignant. Like, lie down on your right. You will lie down, everything is completely calm. ) I can’t even when my legs cross my legs in a dream, it’s hard ((((But nothing, just until June.
At the appointment, everything the doctors don’t tell me is, oh, don’t panic, go to a psychologist, drink motherwort, no, you’re fine, yes, it happens, oh, wear a bandage, you’re just screwing yourself up.

Good day, girls Thank you very much for your support, dears. I'll tell you what happened so you don't worry. Text, photos, a lot. Please under cat. So. On May 12, I was discharged from cardiology, the doctors sent the documents to Yakutsk, and I was free to swim while waiting for an answer. On May 19, an answer came from Yakutsk, telling me to go to them very urgently, right on Monday (May 22). OK. I didn’t pack my bags, I decided to put it off until the last minute)) I ordered a taxi for 5 pm on Monday. It's already morning.
I can't understand why the pressure is so high. And is it worth ringing the bells? On the third day, the lower one remained stable at 90 in the evening. The upper one jumped either 140 or 120. Before pregnancy, I always had a low reading of 98.110/55. During pregnancy, it remained stable at 120/70. The water doesn't seem to be retained. But I can’t say 100%. Recent urine tests are normal. Now the left hand is taken away and often goes numb. I had a cardiogram done in the early stages, it wasn’t very good. But they sent me to the Amosov Institute, and I did it.
I decided to write in more detail about my tummy and feelings this week in a separate post: A girl named Luna lives in it. Big already, strong. It doesn’t just knock and kick, but sometimes it actually sticks out. It takes my breath away and I freeze, I look at the waves of my tummy, and sometimes I groan and daddy rushes to the rescue. He puts his hand on his tummy, heat comes from it, our dad’s energy is strong, fiery. The moon immediately freezes or moves gently and does not hurt :) Obedient! She's also sociable.
Entry created on October 08, 2013The prevailing stereotype is that pregnancy is the most wonderful time in a woman’s life... where did this come from? Magazines, the Internet, TV tell us that pregnancy is a magical and almost completely carefree state, but I am tormented by doubts: have these people themselves ever been pregnant? I believe that everything depends on the specific organism and it goes differently for everyone, but I will never believe that not one of the women encountered a single problem during this very period and enjoyed each one.
I don’t even know where to start.. But I’ll start with the fact that I got pregnant quickly, they stopped taking contraception and after a month there was a delay, I took a test and 2 strips, I was very happy, my first pregnancy.. At 6 weeks (02.09) I registered with the LCD, and on September 6, I had an ischemic stroke, as I found out later, and it all started with a headache on the right side of my head, to be honest, it’s scary to even remember... the left side of my body went numb, before that I called an ambulance, because the headache lasted about 6.
Over the last month I have seen: a therapist 7 times, Laura, a dentist, an ophthalmologist, a neurologist 2 times (the third tomorrow), a cardiologist, an ECG, an ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, behind-the-ear and axillary lymph nodes, 4 blood tests, a blood test for mononucleosis, today an MRI of the brain . And I’m currently 26. What will happen next? It all started like this: my ear hurt, I went to a therapist, from there to an ENT specialist, the ENT specialist said, well, it’s not your ear, but a behind-the-ear lymph node, I went to the dentist, he said, it’s not teeth, it’s mononucleosis.
It’s either a sedentary lifestyle, or the load from B, or approaching old age, but lately I’ve been feeling how the lack of exercise in the morning spoils my well-being! Even if you simply don’t stretch your neck, then already in the subway it begins to become numb. The left side of the body generally plays in a harsh way, as soon as the arm and leg go numb and tingle. This helps a lot, sorry, walking on your buttocks. Only on a soft surface, otherwise I couldn’t sit for long after “walking” on the floor once 🙂 And it lifts my spirits.
I recently had the feeling that my spine was pinched in two places at once - between the shoulder blades (this makes my right arm go numb), and in the area of the tailbone. Tough! And at night, for the first time, the calf muscle of my left leg cramped, and I screamed in pain. They say there is not enough calcium, although I drink 1 tablet of calcemin and eat cottage cheese every day. Who experiences the same phenomena?? What are you saving yourself by?
It's time for my whining =(
I don’t even know where to put it. Girls, it started recently. I don’t understand. My scalp is numb, I feel dizzy, as if I’m going to faint. My heart is tingling. When I lie down, it goes away, I get up, it starts again, nothing happened for 2 days, today it started again .I feel a little sick because of my head. I don’t sleep well at night, my child is restless, I haven’t seen normal sleep for 1.9 years, what could be wrong with me? I’m still young (((And tonight, I started getting dizzy when I got up and the whole left side was twisting and hurting (leg, arm, shoulder). I suspect that it’s neurosis
It’s scary when half of your body goes numb “out of nowhere.” At first I felt dizzy and everything slowly swam before my eyes. And half an hour later it started: my left arm went numb, then half of my back and sternum, then it reached my neck, my ear, my cheek and teeth to my eye. (It didn’t go down to the feet). And it’s not like when you serve your leg and then it hurts with needles. But just numbness, everything is cottony, insensitive, as if lifeless! And only the left side. The tongue could barely move. The feeling that if I came to the dentist at that moment and vomited.
I called the doctor with whom I was going to give birth and went on Saturday for an examination.
Well, I’m going to the sea on August 28 for 15 days alone with the children. I chose for a long time. Where? We needed the sea and on a budget. I decided to go to places so familiar from childhood. I'm going to Crimea. The plane tickets have already been purchased. But if suddenly the situation changes during this time, I’ll hand over my tickets and look for a last-minute ticket somewhere.
05.20.17 at 15-50 I’ll say right away that I didn’t consider this center at all, after two failed screenings, a successful non-invasive test, and sometimes disturbing ultrasounds (polyhydramnios, dilatation of the fetal pelvis), I finally calmed down. but at 35 weeks. The ophthalmologist puzzled me for at least 2 weeks, saying that my retina has PVCRD, and he doesn’t understand the pigmentation, but maybe these are micro-tears. I was really scared of the COP here. I went to hospitals (supposedly free of charge according to the referral) where I heard that “hello to the ophthalmologist” he sent me late, in Gradskaya they generally said what a horror. But.

Stroke. How to properly help yourself and others On the Internet there is advice on using needles, piercing the fingertips with them if a stroke is suspected, and this has already appeared on my blog in the form of a comment to the post, there are objections and irony from doctors about this, there is evidence that The Chinese doctors mentioned in the note do not exist. Let it be so, but in itself drawing people’s attention to this topic is not bad.
which smoothly flows into maternity leave.
You know, I can hardly even sit at the computer, there’s terrible pain in my shoulders, back, shoulder blades. Really, I just want to howl, what kind of disgusting crap is this. I understand that I need to go to the doctor, there’s no other way, but I just signed up for a gastroscopy , I can imagine how much pleasant things I’ll hear there. I don’t want to go to a neurologist yet, maybe in a week or two. I assume that it’s still osteochondrosis. I can feel crunchy balls all over my shoulder blade and in my shoulder on the left side, you press on them - I’m just starting to feel nauseous, and my shoulder is crunching—my mom. I begin to make circular movements with my hand, the crunch is as if bones are being broken (((. My head often hurts, sometimes my left hand goes numb.
Since the last entry there have been 2 more visits to the residential complex. Everything seems to be normal. I took all the tests again: general blood, from a vein (for everything about everything), urine. The next visit was scheduled in 3 weeks due to the holidays. They will probably do a CTG. I began to recover more actively. In 2 weeks per kilogram. The baby became very active at 29 weeks. Or it has grown to such a size that I feel it constantly. He probably moves even in his sleep))) Another ultrasound is coming soon. It became difficult to fall asleep at night. Legs sometimes feel like...

WE WANTED TO GO TO A PAID CLINIC ON THE FIFTH. ———————— new nightmare.
Hello girls, tell me what to do with cramps. I’ve never suffered from anything, but just yesterday and today my left arm is a little numb, it’s not even numb, but it’s like cramping, and cramps mostly cramp my legs at night (((( ((((((((((
Typically, numbness in the extremities does not cause much concern for people. However, this may be a harbinger of serious health problems, especially if the left arm becomes numb. However, do not rush to panic. Let's first figure out why the left hand goes numb in different places and what to do if this happens.
If this symptom bothers you constantly, then such signs of trouble in the body cannot be ignored. They can be both quite “innocent” and the first indicators of quite serious diseases of the nervous or cardiovascular system.
Among the reasons that cause numbness in a girl’s hand, we can highlight the most harmless ones that do not require the help of a doctor or special treatment:
Uncomfortable sleeping position is one of the causes of numbness in the limbs
In all these situations, hand numbness sometimes occurs, and regular massage, rubbing or gymnastics can help eliminate this condition. Usually after 10-30 minutes the numbness goes away without a trace.
If your left arm goes numb, the problem may lie in the spine, getting worse every day
If the cause of the symptom is a disease, it is important to listen to your body and the accompanying sensations. If numbness in your hand continues for more than 1 hour, and there is pain in the heart area, difficulty breathing and numbness in your fingers, do not delay calling an ambulance, because these may be signs of cardiac pathology.
However, if the hand goes numb often or the numbness is accompanied by noticeable pain, this may indicate a pinched nerve.
Important! Pay attention to the little finger of your left hand - if it is numb, then in 80% of cases this is a sign of a pre-infarction condition, followed by a heart attack.
Sometimes, by the location of the numbness, you can determine the cause and the diseases that caused it. Of course, these assumptions are very approximate and to make an accurate diagnosis you should consult a specialist. But knowing some of the nuances can help save a person’s life. So.
Numbness can also occur due to long hours of work. Give your hand a rest, massage, rub.
This may also indicate the onset of a stroke, ischemic spasm, osteochondrosis, inflammation of the ulnar nerve, nervous strain, etc.
Attention! If you experience frequent numbness in your fingers, we strongly recommend that you consult a doctor to avoid serious health problems!
In early spring, loss of sensitivity in the fingers can become a symptom of vitamin deficiency, in particular a lack of vitamins A and B. In addition to numbness, peeling of the skin occurs, and in older people, symptoms of atherosclerosis occur, and hands and fingertips may become numb.
Inflammation of the cervical vertebrae or discs can also cause numbness in the hand or index (sometimes middle) finger. This also often causes weakness.
Due to long monotonous work and overstrain of the arm muscles, numbness of the index finger, stiffness of the hand and cramps can also occur.
Atherosclerosis can also cause the symptom.
The most dangerous situation is numbness of the hands, which is caused by impaired blood circulation in the brain.
In addition, numbness of the left thumb may be associated with disruption of the internal organs - kidneys, liver or lungs.
If the hand becomes numb from the bottom up, pain is felt, which intensifies, you should urgently consult a doctor. If symptoms persist for more than an hour, arterial thrombosis may have occurred.
It can also be caused by osteochondrosis, stress, cerebrovascular accident, diseases of internal organs, etc.
stroke (numbness in an arm and leg or the entire side of the body) – accompanied by loss of speech and difficulty with facial expressions. If such symptoms occur, you should immediately call an ambulance;
osteochondrosis, lower back diseases;
intervertebral hernia – numbness is accompanied by a feeling of “pins and needles”, pain, heaviness in the legs, with prolonged sitting, standing, turning the head and other sudden movements, the pain intensifies.
X-rays, MRIs and ultrasounds are used to accurately diagnose the cause.
If hand numbness does not go away after a massage and is not a consequence of fatigue or being in an uncomfortable position, but is also regular, you should consult a doctor. If necessary, the therapist can refer you for a consultation with a cardiologist, neurologist, or vertebrologist. In this case, the following diagnostic procedures may be prescribed:
Vascular ultrasound and computed tomography will determine the pathology of circulatory disorders
Depending on the results and identified diseases, the doctor prescribes treatment, which may include: medication, therapeutic massage, and physiotherapy.
There are very effective folk remedies that improve blood circulation, restore muscle sensitivity and strengthen joints.
The best prevention of numbness in the hand is to give up bad habits and switch to a healthy lifestyle. Gymnastics, walks in the fresh air, comfortable sleep - all this negates the likelihood of unpleasant sensations in the limbs. Proper nutrition plays an important role in prevention, because consumption of harmful foods leads to increased cholesterol levels in the blood and blockage of blood vessels.
When performing monotonous work with your hands, you should definitely take breaks, stretch them, and you should also avoid hypothermia of the limbs and excessive stress on them.
If you are at risk for a heart attack or stroke, prevention alone will not be enough. You should avoid stressful situations and have regular check-ups with your doctor. If you have problems with blood pressure, you should purchase a good tonometer and measure your blood pressure regularly, especially if you feel unwell. At the slightest increase in pressure, measures should be taken to normalize it in order to prevent a critical condition.
If, after all, numbness in your hand occurs without obvious natural causes, do not put off visiting a doctor. It is unacceptable to self-medicate without making an accurate diagnosis - a number of diseases in an advanced stage require complex treatment, and sometimes surgical intervention.
Today, numbness in the left hand is a fairly common problem among people of different age groups. It can occur for a number of reasons, some of which can threaten human life. Therefore, you should be wary if, along with numbness in the hand, symptoms such as pain in the hand, in the left side of the chest, in the shoulder, weakness, dizziness, headaches, nausea, numbness in other parts of the body, etc. appear.
