It's either a nerve or circulation problem. If it's circulation, your hand will be cold. If your hand is not cold, then it is a pinched nerve somewhere, either in your wrist or neck.
My left hand got tingly when I had a pinched nerve in my neck. It eventually got better but never returned 100 percent. However, I can still do everything I could before, such as play guitar, type and use tools.
Go to a doctor and get it checked out before the condition gets any worse.

You have probably just slept in an awkward position. All your body weight rested on your arm and might of cut off circulation causing cramp.I had the same thing and I was really scared and the whole motor in my hand wouldn't work but I tried some thing and it went away. Try a sling maybe, frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel, warm cloth or putting them in nice warm water with some bubble bath in and watch a nice film and eat some nibbles or a milkshake. Prop it up on a pillow and keep bathing it in hot water. Make sure the skin is aired off and wear cosy clothes without tight sleeves and no gloves. You can get hand warmers to hold as well. Maybe try massaging them even with something like Vaseline ect. If they don't start to feel that better maybe a trip to the doctors. Try to avoid typing or writing ect and let the fingers stretch out and relax. A hand bandage might be good/ sling...That is what I did then slowly used it again.

possibly carpal tunnel syndrome
possibly (not likely) a low thyroid
either way, you should get checked out by a doc.
good luck!

sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome. But don't take my word for it, go see a Dr.

Please go and see a doctor for that. There maybe something wrong. I have that same thing. The doctor can give you medication for that. It's probably due to chlolestrol in your body.
