Anybody have this? Getting Panicky!

[Corinne]

Sometimes when I wake up, my hands are "asleep." Lately, I've noticed that it doesn't take much for them (and my feet) to fall asleep even when I'm awake. No, I am not sleeping on my hands. Usually, they are down by my sides on laying on my torso.

Today, my foot fell asleep and I had a hard time getting the circulation back. When it finally came back, I still had the pins and needles feeling for a long time.

My left arm feels weak and my hand has that pins and needles feeling in it. My right foot is also feeling this way. I think there's something wrong with my circulation and I'm fighting not to Google!

Please don't google!! I get this too. I am constantly checking my skin color to see if I am turning blue on my hands or feet. I don't know what causes it but I can tell you that I have had this for years. My hands and feet get really cold too. I have had HA for so long I think maybe my nervous system is just overwhelmed. As for your hands and feet if they aren't turning blue and you don't have a history of circulation problems, i wouldn't be worried. As always, if a trip to the Dr would make you feel better, then by all means go, just don't google. Good Luck

Thank you j2. I have an appointment tomorrow. I'll just add this to the list of things I have to tell her! It's so annoying, and of course I am imagining the worst.

BTW, I'm having computer problems, so if I disappear, I'm not ignoring anyone!

Hi Corrine,

Since my anxiety started I have noticed this happening to me, it can wake me up at night. It can happen even if I am reading or something it is scary cause my HA makes me flip over it sometimes. I sometimes get the feeling that these things have always been around but it's only now that my anxiety is here that I actually notice them! I guess it wouldn't hurt to mention it to your Doc just for peace of mind.

Thank you, Jim. If's funny that you mentioned about wondering if these strange things that happen to those of us with HA have been around but we never noticed. I was just thinking of that same thing last night. I was sitting and looking at my fingertips wondering if they were swollen. I couldn't Google because my computer was down. I think God was trying to tell me something!

If my doctor tells me anything of importance tomorrow, I'll post it!

Good luck tomorrow. I will be thinking of you.

Thank you, j2. That made me feel good!
