Numbness & tingling: 4 patterns that guide the workup

Not all numbness means the same thing.

✔️ One hand waking up at night → often carpal tunnel
✔️ Both feet slowly over time → often neuropathy
✔️ One side of body suddenly → can be stroke/TIA (urgent)
✔️ Patchy / comes and goes → can be migraine or nerve pinching

✔️ Helpful to write down: location, start date, triggers, and any weakness.
