Should I Be Concerned About The Non Circulation Of Blood Through My Arms?

Hi Dr. Samuel I am loosing circulation in bot my arms every night when I fall asleep. I wake up at least 5 times at night becuase the numbness becomes too painfull. Once the blodd flows back I fall asleep again but soon after the same thing happens and I have to do the same process. I am concern if this could have a long term affect in the future. Do you have any idea what could be causing this. I have had in the past Calcification in bot shoulders and top arms which seems to have resolved. I dont smoke and I excercise everyday.

Posture of sleep might be a cause for compressive vasculature.get to an endovascular surgeon and let them assess the vascular structures and rule out the likely possibilities.It will be managed easily , just make it the earliest possible convenient time to be out of the woods.
