I m waking up sometimes with numb hands on my pinky side and during the day my heart rate can reach up to 120 bpm, this has been happening for over a month, I don t sleep very well, i also have nerve damage in my right hand with my median and ulnar nerve causing restricted movement with my index finger specifically, could this be a nerve disease?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that it is normal for the heart rate the reach up to 120bpm during physical activity or anxiety in healthy individuals. So it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your heart. Regarding the numbness in your hands, it seems to be caused by a pinched nerve in your arms. I would recommend consulting with the neurologist and perform a nerve conduction study (electroneurography) to establish the diagnosis. In case of a pinched nerve, you may need to hold a special wrist splint at night, or even make an undergo a small intervention in case of a severe compression of the nerve. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes,
