How To Rectify Constant Numbness In Hands Along With Swelling?

My hands fall asleep constantly and now I wake up in the morning and they are dead about to my elbow. They fall asleep while driving, talking on the phone, using computer--it seems like any time they are in an upright position they go numb or when holding or grasping something. My hands are starting to swell badly too.

Hello,

As a first line management you can take drugs like neurontin for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
