Numbness in hand in sleep

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

Little finger and ring finger portion till half of the forearm is getting numb and heavy while sleeping. In the day time legs also get tingling sensation and then slowly become difficult to move and it happens multiple times(no matter how I sit, it happens in every position) What could be the reason and treatment. A doctor prescribed zinc and magnesium tablets which I'm having now. But this tangling sensation is since 4-5 years. Neglected it considering it happens because of sitting for long time and being anemic. However Hb is normal still issue is becoming worse. Kindly advise. A little tangling sensation and pain I get in the upper shoulders behind the neck as well.

If it starts tingling even with minor compressions, it might be due to a genetic issue. You need to see a neurologist in person, to examine you in detail and manage accordingly
