briarrose Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 My hands and feet can sometimes tingle, fall asleep, have horrible pain in them; it can be right, left or both. I'm not a doctor but sometimes I think it's because of hypovolemia or could be because of circulation. I know that when I'm very hypovolemic, I can't hold my hand up to do my hair because it goes numb right away and then immediately freezing cold. This is not an uncommon symptom for POTS patients.

violahen Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi:Yes, I get this in both limbs. It's sort of an "ultra-weak" feeling where I have no control over my hands. It's very weird, and yes, a symptom of dysautonomia according to my doc.My only suggestion is to keep drinking LOTS of fluids to help boost your volume. Good luck!Kristen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
