Question: What is happening when a part of your body falls "asleep"!?
Like your hand or foot!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
the blood flow to the area is restricted so the body slows down circulation to preserve the limb, as the restriction is released the blood rushes back to the area and the result is a tingling feeling called pins and needles!. If the circulation is restricted for to long the blood in the area turns toxic and produces gases that, when the restriction is eased rush back into the bodies system and send it into toxic shock and then cardiac arrest, this is why people who are trapped for long periods of time may appear to be healthy but upon release die soon after!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Two possibilities!. Restricted blood flow, or a nerve that has been under pressure!. When you apply pressure directly to a nerve, it may go numb!. When the pressure is removed, the nerve eventually starts again, but it starts to send mild pain signals to the brain!. The blood flow thing is more common!. You put pressure on a blood vessel (usually a vein since they're closer to the surface) this leads to a build up of blood in a limb!. When the blood is finally released, there is a tingling sensation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is OK as long as it is short term and only happens occasionally!. If it happens frequently or lasts longer than a few minutes then you need to see a doctor!.
