Wake up arm numbness may be mechanical compression and other physiological reasons, but may also be cervical spondylosis, cerebrovascular disease and other pathologic reasons, should seek medical attention to identify the cause.
1. Physiological reasons: if you sleep in an incorrect posture, long-time compression of the arm, it will cause local blood circulation obstacles, and over time there will be numbness in the arm, which is generally transient, get up and move around a little bit can be relieved very quickly.
2. Pathological causes:
(1) cervical spondylosis: if you suffer from cervical spine disc herniation, cervical spine osteophytes, etc., it is easy to compress the nerve root in the vertebral canal, if you sleep in the wrong posture, just to compress the nerves, then the nerve root distribution in the arm of the regional conductivity will be weakened, thus causing numbness in the arm.
(2) cerebrovascular disease: general people sleep blood flow will slow down, cerebrovascular disease patients sleep blood flow is relatively slower, there may be brain ischemia, hypoxia, resulting in numbness of the arm, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to take antiplatelet coagulation drugs to improve the symptoms.
To summarize, after excluding the physiological reasons, you should go to the hospital in time, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment after clarifying the cause of the disease, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
