When I lie down, my legs and arms get tingly/fall asleep. Am 34, healthy, gave birth 7 months ago. Thoughts?

Question

Really don't have an isse while standing or sitting up - just seem to notice it when lying down. Seems like whichever limbs are above my heart seem to fall asleep. Worth mentioning is that I also sometimes I get headaches/eye strain. I've had 3 babies in 5 years - wondering if it could be related to pregnancy. Thanks for your thoughts!

Answer 1

I would have that checked out right away it could be muscle cramps or just tired bones.............then again and this is serious it could be a blood clot....... Do call the doctor please and talk to the triage nurse as she will tell you more.

Good luck better safe than sorry....

Answer 2

you could have restless leg syndrome, you just need to relax more and take it easy that happens to me after a long day in heels. I had an epidural and nothing like that, but then again everyone is different.

Answer 3

If you had an epidural, it could be related to that.

Answer 4

Well I agree with lovely, I think it's epidural related. :O)
