Hands going bloodless / numb during sleep
Hi,My hands (sometimes both or sometimes one) are going bloodless every night when I sleep. After waking up I have to do some movement and they come back to normal in 15 - 30 mins period but since there is no blood in hands during sleep, I can feel weakness / pain in hands during the day. This numbness extends to the whole arm sometimes. Also, sometimes my feet are also showing same symptoms. Along with this, sometimes my one side of the body (specially face - cheek and forehead - one side) also goes numb during sleep and comes back to normal during the day. Is this a carpel or cubic tunnel syndrome ? Can you please suggest a remedy in homeopathy for this. I got my vitamin B12 test done and it was normal.

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.
1. Describe your main suffering?
My hands (sometimes both or sometimes one) are going bloodless every night when I sleep. After waking up I have to do some movement and they come back to normal in 15 - 30 mins period but since there is no blood in hands during sleep, I can feel weakness / pain in hands during the day. This numbness extends to the whole arm sometimes. Also, sometimes my feet are also showing same symptoms. Along with this, sometimes my one side of the body (specially face - cheek and forehead - one side) also goes numb during sleep and comes back to normal during the day. During the day I feel coldness in some of my body parts e.g lower leg/s, one eye(left) or face , as if not enough blood circulation is there.
I got my Blood pressure checked and it varies between 80-90 for lower and 120-130 for upper. I feel a congestion (sometimes) in the chest left hand side but in the doctor's checkup they dont see any issue as such. Recently I got my comprehensive matabolic panel test done along with Vitamin B12 and thyroid function test and all were normal.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Other than I have fungus in my toe nails and I recently started homeopathic medicine for that. I am not aware of the details of those medicine because i got them from a homeopathic doctor in india.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
As such no mental suffrings but i feel easily anxited over any thing which is not very normal and feels like blood circulation is not very good. Due to this sometimes I feel my penis contracted as well. Just the only feeling of not having good blood ciculation worries me.

Sorry I forgot to mention, I am currently taking Silicia 6X for a recent Pilonidal Cyst (1 month ago). The cyst has drained but I am continuing with Silicia 6x for sometime as of now.

Please stop the homeo remedy for nail fungus that you are taking daily. You may be proving that remedy and having the numbness.
If there is no improvement after 8 days of stopping the remedy, please take three doses of Lycopodium 30c at a gap of 4 hours for only two days and report back after 15 days.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning. You may practise at any other convinient time. The only restriction that you have to follow is not to do these exercises within 4 hours after meals. You can have meals not within 15 minutes after finishing these exercises.

Thanks for the early response.
One clarification, I started the remedy for nail fungus just 1 month ago but the numbness problem has been there since 9 months atleast.
Do you still recommend to stop homeo remedy for nail fungus ?
