What Does Numbness In The Fingers Indicate?

Lately, I am experiencing at night numb palm/fingers. Sometimes, twice a night at 2 hour interval. I just I just woke up with numbness but in 10 to 14 seconds after my massage. numbness is gone. I have been taking Losartan 50 mg ad atenolol 50 mg for my aortic aneurysm and right iliac aneurysm plus 2 more rx drugs, Tamsolusin .4 mg and metfformin 500 mg. What is causing the numbness? I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) due to my fear from the sickness I got. But I need no meds for GAD. I do meditation. Pls. help me. I am 75 years old and a Filipino-American.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

None of the above mentioned drugs will cause numbness as side effects as per studies...
Meditation is the best way for anxiety problems...
I suggest you to take USG hand to rule out the problems cause is due to any nerve problem or muscle problem...?
Mean while I suggest you to take T.Neurobion OD(once daily after food) for 15 days this will help.

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