When should you be concerned?
If your hands fall asleep from time to time, it’s probably nothing serious. However, pay attention to certain warning signs:
- The sensation comes back very frequently
- It affects both hands at the same time
- It’s accompanied by loss of strength, pain, or difficulty holding objects
- It travels up the arm or spreads to other parts of the body
In these cases, it’s always best to talk to a healthcare professional. Prevention is better than cure, especially when you ask the right questions early on.
