So, you started to notice that you often get numbfingers. The reason for this unusual condition should be clarified first, because it will depend on her further recommendations for treatment and prevention. So, what diseases and pathologies can cause numbness?
What to do? First, train yourself regularly duringwork to give hands rest (about once every half hour), perform simple exercises (circular rotation, clenching and unclenching of fists, shaking hands). There is one more nuance that should be remembered for those who have numb fingers from time to time. The reason described above is aggravated by sudden temperature changes. Therefore, try to always keep your pens warm and do not leave the house in winter without gloves. And in order to strengthen the blood vessels, it is important to eat fully, pay attention to active rest and give up alcohol and smoking.
If your fingers are numb, the cause may becover and in diseases of the spine. This item includes a number of problems, starting with curvature and osteochondrosis and ending with disc hernias. Numbness in this case will not be the first symptom: patients suffering from such ailments first begin to experience pain in the neck region, suffer from frequent headaches and dizziness.
What to do? First of all, you should go to a consultationto a specialist who deals with just the problems of the spine (vertebrologist). After you go through the examination and the doctor finds out how and how much the vertebrae are affected, he will pick up a suitable course of treatment for you. Most likely, you will have to practice physical therapy, go for a massage - this will strengthen the spine and correct existing problems.
What to do? In this case, the answer is obvious:should dramatically reconsider their diet, enrich it with products that contain various minerals, vitamins. If for some reason you do not eat fish and meat dishes, add brewer's yeast (you can get them in any pharmacy). Try to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. As an additional measure, you can buy ready-made vitamin complexes in tablets.
Older people often get numb and numb fingers because of the injuries they received many years ago. This is explained simply: protection of the body is weakened, and as a result complications arise.
Rare, but still likely causeact Raynaud's disease. It has its own characteristic signs: in the cold, the fingertips first turn white, then they become cyanotic, and after a while they turn red. This is due to a severe spasm in the vessels, when the circulation of blood in the capillaries is disturbed. The danger of this disease is that, in the absence of proper treatment, it can lead even to gangrene, in which physicians are forced to amputate their fingers. In this case, two specialists should be examined at once: a rheumatologist and a neurologist who can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
And if the numbness is combined with other symptoms(a feeling of cold in the fingers, a constant thirst), the cause of it can be diabetes mellitus type II. A high level of sugar leads to the fact that the vascular walls in the body are corroded. However, even if you do not have diabetes, try to constantly monitor the amount of sugar in your blood and maintain it at a normal level.
As you have already seen, among the possiblethe reasons for numbness of the fingers are relatively relatively harmless (for example, the same vitamin deficiency). However, do not ignore this problem, because your body does not in vain give you a signal. Take a survey. If some illness or deviation does take place, in the early stages it will be much easier to cope with them.
