take her to the doctor a.s.a.p. this could be any number of things, a lot of serious conditions could cause those sympyoms. hopefully it's not serious, but if it is, you have to catch it quick. hopefully it's just poor circulation or carpal tunnel, but even if it is something minor, why put up with it? if it bothers her enough to say something about it, she really should go to the doctor. if you can't get her to see adoctor, there's nothing anyone else can really do to help.

Take her to the emergency room now,or call 911, this is nothing to play with, it could be a Heart Attach, a pinched nerve in her spine, carpal tunnel syndrome or a stroke. Make her go to the hospital right now, none of these are easy to live with. Do it now!!!! Give her an aspirin before you take her to thin her blood in case she is trying to have a stroke or a heart attack, tell the nurse that you think that she is either having a stroke or a heart attack and they will take her right in. Tell the nurse and Doctor that you gave her one aspirin to thin her blood, in case they have to operate right away.

She may have developed Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, where the tendons in the wrist essentially constrict due to overuse and cause nerve damage. Another thing is that she may have problems with the spine in the neck region (Cervical Spine) that is causing the nerves to also be "pinched" , producing tingling and numbness.

Does she type or do repetitive hand motion a lot? It could be carpal tunnel. If you're worried, try to convince her to go to the Dr. and get it checked out.
Good luck, and you are a good daughter (or son, depending on if you are Emma or Rick, LOL)
