Try to limit your alcohol consumption and learn to control your stress level (meditation, “inhale-exhale” technique). If nothing seems to work, you should definitely make an appointment with the doctor.
3 Loss of sensitivity and tingling
Sometimes we wake up with the impression of having lost sensitivity in certain parts of the body, and when we move, it causes tingling.
Usually it’s just because we’ve been pressing on the sensory nerve for a long time. The tingling is the time the nerve needs to get back to work.
In some cases, these symptoms in the hands may be a sign of a more serious problem such as cervical osteochondrosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, limb vein thrombosis, brachial plexus injury, anemia or diabetes. If you often suffer from loss of sensitivity in your hands for no obvious reason, consult your doctor.
4 Dry hands
The most common reasons for dry skin on the hands are dehydration and the estrogen deficiency that goes hand in hand with menopause. To avoid dehydration, drink enough water and use moisturizing hand creams.
Include oily fish, seeds and nuts in your diet. Consult your doctor about taking hormone replacement therapy, which will help control the drop in estrogen.
5 Trembling Hands
It is known that trembling hands can be a sign of serious health problems like Parkinson’s disease. If you have serious concerns, consult a doctor.
In the meantime, limit your intake of strong coffee and alcohol, as they can also cause hand tremors. Other possible reasons are anxiety and severe stress.
6 Weak and brittle nails
Brittle or cracked nails can be a symptom of zinc deficiency. Zinc is really important for our health, it promotes wound healing, helps cells divide and strengthens the immune system.
Add foods rich in zinc to your diet, such as oats, nuts and meat. Doctors also recommend taking a zinc supplement if levels are low in your body.
7 Fingers in drum sticks
If your fingers look like drumsticks, it means that there is generally an oxygen deficit in your body. It can be a symptom of a much more serious illness, such as lung cancer or heart disease. Consult a healthcare professional if you suffer from clubbing.
