If you mean that you have numbness and / or tingling in your fingers, then the most common reason is carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, middle and part of the ring finger, especially at night. There are a number of other conditions that can cause neurologic symptoms in the hand. I would suggest that you see a hand specialist for a proper evaluation. Good luck.
So many potential causes β€” it’s impossible to guess. Please make a visit with your primary care or local hand professional.
