Question:
What does it mean when you sit in one position just a little too....??
long,but not that long, and that part of your body is completely numb for about 1 or 2 minutes?? is it bad circulation, or just normal for some people???? anything that i can do about it???
Answers:
Temporary paresthesia can be due to a slightly pinched nerve (as when you sit on your foot, or have a leg bent in an awkward angle), that resolves itself as soon as you change position or by temporarily lowered blood supply (when your arm or leg goes numb or asleep).
It is normal, to an extent, meaning you can get your body used to staying in different positions by slowly getting used to them. If it happens really soon after you sat, you might want to help your blood circulation by doing a bit more exercise. If it's happening while you sleep, for instance, then you should go look for a doctor's advice, since it may be a sign of clogged arteries or high blood triglycerides.
