Why do my feet often go numb when I sleep?

Numbness in the feet when sleeping may be related to many different reasons, such as people with diabetes, or numbness caused by the use of some medications. Another possibility is that numbness is caused by neuritis. If it is due to insufficient qi and blood, you should pay attention to replenishing qi and blood.

1. People with diabetes may experience numbness in their hands and feet. If numbness, soreness, or swelling often occurs in any part of the body, blood sugar should be checked in time, especially the elderly.

2. Numbness caused by drugs or chemical preparations. Taking berberine or furazolidone when you have a cold or diarrhea can cause numbness in your hands and feet. Numbness in your hands and feet can also occur if you stay in an environment containing hydrogen, arsenic, carbon disulfide, etc. for a long time.

3. Neuritis causes numbness. Common symptoms of neuritis are numbness of hands and feet, muscle atrophy, and weakness in the limbs. Diarrhea or a cold lasting for half a month can cause neuritis.

4. Numbness occurs in scattered parts of the limbs. Numbness occurs in all four limbs at the same time, but not in scattered parts. This indicates that local nerves are stimulated, drunkenness or coma can cause nerve stimulation to the head, crutches can cause nerve stimulation to the hands of the elderly, cervical spondylosis can cause numbness in the upper limbs, and lumbar shoulder nerve stimulation can cause numbness in the legs. Suggestions: Numbness in the hands and feet is also caused by insufficient qi and blood, that is, blood deficiency. Blood deficiency is caused by weak yang qi, and yang qi is unable to circulate blood, and blood cannot reach the extremities of blood vessels. The extremities of the hands and feet are the human body, so blood deficiency can cause numbness. Pay attention to daily maintenance, and eat less cold food if you have yang deficiency.
