This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. It’s common among people who perform repetitive hand movements, such as typing or using manual tools.
3. Poor Circulation
Reduced blood flow to the hands can cause numbness. This may be linked to:
- Low blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Cardiovascular issues
4. Diabetes
High blood sugar levels can damage nerves over time, leading to diabetic neuropathy. Early symptoms often include tingling and numbness in the hands and feet.
5. Vitamin Deficiency
A lack of essential nutrients—especially Vitamin B12—can affect nerve function and lead to numbness or muscle weakness.
