Q: I'm experiencing hand numbness several times a day post-migraine, why?

I had a severe migraine a week ago.  Now, 4-7 times a day, at random times, my fingers and sometimes whole hand, both right and left, go almost completely numb, it's rather disconcerting. This type of thing hasn't happened in the past.  Though, this was one of the strongest migraines I've ever had :(. Luckily I only have 1-2 migraines per year.

Davis,

 

Any such numbness caused by a Migraine generally happens during the Migraine, not days afterward. This may or may not be related to your Migraine. Please see your doctor to be safe and sure.
