Good afternoon. I am unable to get it touch with my doctor and was wandering if I should go to the ER. My right arm have been tingling for over a week now and a night when I lay down it gets worse. I thought it would go away but it s not. Tingling from my upper arm all the way to my hand

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend to avoid to much movement of the arm to prevent further damage.

If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
