When Does Paresthesia Occur?
Most people have experienced paresthesia at least once in their lives. This common form is called transient paresthesia and typically occurs when we stay in the same position for too long—such as sitting or sleeping awkwardly.
It usually happens because prolonged pressure on a nerve temporarily disrupts normal blood flow. However, paresthesia may also be caused by other conditions, including:
-
Nerve injury
-
Herniated (slipped) disc
-
Circulatory problems
How Long Does the Sensation Last?
Paresthesia often makes the affected limb feel numb yet movable, with increased sensitivity that may spread to nearby areas.
In most cases, the sensation disappears
quickly once normal blood circulation returns. Stretching, changing position, or gently massaging the affected area can help relieve symptoms faster.
