What would cause top of head and left hand to go numb?!
Question: I am 38 overweight with HBP. My cholesterol is fine. But this was occuring as I was trying to fall asleep. I was fine when sitting up and staying away. But if I tried to fall asleep just as I would doze off I would wake up gasping for air with the top of my head and left hand feeling numb for a slit second. No chest pain and it only happend as I was falling alseep

i recommend getting a sleep test done,this will tell you have sleep disorder and this can be fixed by having a machine on when you sleep
Could be a TIA (minor, temporary stroke). You need to be checked out by your doctor. Soon.
