Numbness in right hand while sleeping
I am recently recovering from covid, this is the 21st days since the first symptoms .
From last 2,3 days my hand is getting numb and sometimes it pains a little while sleeping in night . This is happening more in left hand but sometimes in right also. I observed that it's happening more when I keep my hand in 90 degree while sleeping.
It goes off immediately as soon as I move my hand.
Is it something to worry or it is due to post covid weakness or something .

Don't worry.
Avoid pillow.
Do neck isometric excercise ( very simple and easy to do)
Avoid heavy excercise.
Continue multivitamin.
It should improve in a week or two.
If not , then you should consider consultation.
