Tingling and numbness can occur when nerves are compressed, irritated, or affected by an underlying medical condition. Changing positions and avoiding prolonged pressure may help when symptoms are mild and temporary. However, recurring or unexplained numbness should not be ignored. A healthcare professional can assess the affected area, medical history, and possible causes. Seek urgent medical care if numbness develops suddenly with weakness, facial changes, speech difficulty, severe headache, or other sudden neurological symptoms. Early assessment can help prevent complications and guide appropriate treatment.
