Numbness in the Hands. Numbness in the hands is a sensation of loss of feelings in the hands, often referred to as falling asleep. Symptoms of hand numbness are tingling, pins-and-needles, prickling sensations. Sleeping on your hands or holding your hands above your head for a long period of time will cause numbness.
There may or may not be pain and the numbness is often constant. Diabetes, alcoholism, and old age are common known causes of neuropathy. Poisoning from metals and industrial compounds are also possible causes. Certain medications, such as cancer treatment drugs, are known to cause numbness and tingling in the hands.
