Okay, so I need your guys’ help.. the past week or so I had been waking up with my left hand swollen and numb like it felt asleep I thought I was just falling asleep on it so I switched sides. But it didn’t help if actually has been getting worse and it hurts really bad I can’t even straighten my hand throughout the day. The pain and numbness has now started to last an hour or so and it really hurts. I’ve tried pouring cold water and hot water on it but it only makes the pain worse... what is this and what should I do??

It could be your blood pressure but you really should see a doctor about it!! It found be lots of things causing it. Are you pregnant?

@mommasince2016, oh ok. My friend had high blood pressure in pregnancy and that happened that’s what I was thinking it could be. I would definitely ask your doctor about it.

My hand hurts and gets numb from carpal tunnel, but it's never swelled. Maybe a nerve or something is getting pinched because of pregnancy, and sleeping makes it worse because, according to my hand doctor, when we sleep our wrists usually bend. He gave me a brace that helps. But you should let your doctor know, maybe even call if you don't have an appointment.

- When you hyper flex your hand all the way do parts turn white ?

@beccaaalynnn11, I don’t think so I can’t open it all the way though it hurts too bad

- Sometimes retaining water can make you feel like that, and then sleeping and pinching nerves can exacerbate it. You should call your doctor and let them know. Simple things are usually part of something else without you even knowing.
