Brief Answer:
Carpel tunnel syndrome is a possibility.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
This can be due to Carpel tunnel syndrome. In this condition, median nerve is entrapped in the Carpel tunnel which is a structure of your body.
I would advise you to get:
1. Thyroid Function test.
2. Fasting Blood sugar.
3. Nerve conduction velocity study of your hand. This will confirm the diagnosis.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query please ask me.
