simple.. do not lie on your right hand..... lie on your left because even your arm is under your body.... the blood will still circulate.......or if everyday you are sufferin this..... better go to the doctor for check up....... or probably you dont have enough salt in your body...

take an asprin (preferbably the kind ment for muscle aches)\n\nthen put a hot cloth on it for 20 minutes, put ice for 20 and repeat as often as needed, try sleeping with your back on an electric blanket (maybe... i'm not sure how safe it is)\n\ngood luck

SWEETIE, YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE HAVING CIRCULATION PROBLEMS. AS FOR THE SLEEPING TOO MUCH AND FEELING TIRED.....THERE ARE SOOOO MANY REASONS THAT COULD BE CAUSING THAT. DEPRESSION, vitamin deficiency, anxiety, diabetes, a virus, anemia , Honey there are soooo many things that it could be. as for your fingers....that could be carpal tunnel syndrome. when we use our hands a lot it can cause a circulation problem. but Sweet heart, if you were my daughter....your butt would be seeing a doctor TODAY !!!  Tell mom or dad Honey. you need to have some tests done. I hope this helps , but the doc is the one ya need to be asking such serious questions to. Good luck and GBU\n                                                             concerned ...Deanne

Does it occur often?? if it does, you need to consult the doctor. Try also elevating your legs, so the blood can circulate well, it is preferrable to do it when resting or sleeping.

Type in medical problems, questions about diseases, anything like that.  There are a lot of websites that have encyclopedias of symptoms, medicines, etc...Best bet, however is to go to the doctor.  It sounds like you have poor circulation from your description though.  Good luck.

Try sleeping w/a pillow between your legs or you can try a spray called BIOFREEZE.  You can purchase that usually at a chiropractors office.  It works pretty good.  Also, stretching out the back muscles helps out a lot too.  Good luck.

Headaches are from circulation problems.  What can you do to improve your circulation?\n\nCan you get a daily massage <great for circulation>? Can you exercise more? Can you drink only water? Can you give up bad fats in your foods? Can you do breathing exercises to relax?  Can you take asprin daily?\n\nOf course, try to talk to your doctor (if you have one) and bounce these ideas off them.

Get yourself an electric blanket and wrap your self up in that. I have done that. It puts me to sleep every-time. BUT, if your talking about your cold all the time 24/7 then your blood-pressure may be low; for which you'll need to see a doctor.

Make sure your heat is turned down to around 68 and take a warm bath/shower. When your body temp drops it helps you sleep. Also, lavendar & chamomile are relaxing herbs. Try getting some essential oils or lavendar pillow/bed spray.

Could be as simple as using too many pillows.You definitely have something compressing the brachial plexus as you sleep. May want to try rolling a small pillow or towel and placing it under your neck when you sleep. If pillows are not the problem, then you are developing a chronic cervical problem and it should be attended to.

is it a muscle cramp or spasm?? massage it out with your fingers...it's called "going to sleep"....from being in one position too long - the blood stops circulating for a short period....hey, i'm no doctor... just experienced the same thing

R.I.C.E.\nRest: relative rest, avoid lifting any moderate to heavy weights with that arm\nIce: ice the Bicep for 15 minutes every hour\nCompression: wrap an ace wrap around the arm to control swelling\nElevation: elevate the arm above the heart level to control swelling\n\nSee your physician if it is a large tear.  You will need to rest and not play sports for a few weeks to allow it to heal.

Compression of the neurovascular structures (the nerves and blood vessels) that supply the arm would lead to the symptoms.  If it does not happen at any other time it was probably just your weird sleeping posture.  Do you notice if you do activities with your arms above your head for more than a couple of minutes you have feelings of tingling, numbness, heaviness and/or cold.  This could also be due to a compression of those same structures and could occur for several different reasons (posture, muscle tightness, elevated 1st rib, etc.).  I would ask for a referral to a Physical Therapist who would be able to examine you and tell you if your symptoms are being caused due to an orthopedic reason such as the ones that I lifted above.

Your muscle retains "memory".\nIf you slept on your muscle wrong, you try to straighten your neck out and it wants to snap the muscle back to prevent it from injury. And that HURTS!\nThe best thing to do is use heat/ice and slowly, very slowly, rotate your head from side to side, and up and down flexions, to stimulate that muscle and get it back to normal, usually a day or so. And take aleve or some Ibuprophen for pain.

A massage.  I too sleep on my stomach and carry a lot of tension in my shoulders.  It is why I am up late tonight, woke up with a neck ache.  What I do if a good massage is not available is head down to the mall and sit in one of the chairs that give you a massage.  They are to die for girl.  :)

I'm an insomniac so I can sympathize! There are all sorts of tricks to try, warm milk, a warm bath, mild exercise about 1 hour before bed. Try to read or do puzzles somewhere other than bed and have your room dark and on the cool side. try self relaxation when you lie down close your eyes and starting at your temples imagine each muscle slowly relaxing as you move down your body.  If all else fails a mild over the counter sleep aid may be needed on occassion or see a doctor. Good Luck and Sweet Dreams!

I sounds as though you're not getting the proper circulation to your hands.  There can be many causes of this and the type 2 diabetes will complicate it.  And having two heart attacks already certainly points in this direction.\n\nAssuming your getting checked regularly by your doctor to rule out any heart conditions and arterial blockages, a lot of circulation problems can be caused by several musculoskeletal conditions.  \n\nIf it's actually affecting both hands, then it's more severe.  If it started with one and and now affecting both, then it's getting progressively worse and you need to seek the help of a health care professional right away.\n\nA common condition is called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.  This is where the arteries that go out to your hands are being constricted by the clavicle, rib, or muscles.  A chiropractor will know how to find this and treat it.\n\nAlso a possibility is a "pinched" nerve in the neck.  Again, the chiropractor can help this.\n\nThird, your arteries and nerves might be becoming "worn out" (diabetic neuropathy) by the Type II diabetes depending on your age, how long you've had it, how much you exercise, if you smoke, what medications your taking, etc.  Exercises and the proper nutrition will help with the type II diabetes.  A good chiropractor could give you some suggestions for both exercise and nutrition that your MD may or may not know.\n\nOther options may be to check out a nutritionist or a yoga instructor.\n\nOf course, there are many more causes and some are more severe than others.  \n\nI hope this helps.
