What is the reason for stiff fingers when sleeping at night

Some people find that their fingers are stiff when they sleep at night. After clenching their hands, they cannot release their fingers normally when they release them. There is an obvious sense of stuckness. Sometimes it will be fine after some more movement. Although it does not happen every day, it happens every now and then. However, this situation does not happen during the day, and they have been very confused and puzzled about it. Stiff fingers when sleeping at night may be related to rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis.

1. Why do my fingers become stiff when I sleep at night?

1. It may be caused by rheumatism. You can check the full rheumatism panel. The full rheumatism panel is a combination of routine blood tests, generally including four items: rheumatism factor, rheumatoid factor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein. The test results have clear diagnostic significance for rheumatic and rheumatoid diseases.

2. This situation may be caused by poor blood supply to nerve endings. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood lipid and blood rheology test, keep warm, avoid discussing and exercise more often and move your fingers more.

3. It should be considered that it is caused by catching a cold or compressing the nerves while sleeping, and attention should be paid to timely warming and recovery. It is recommended that you go to a regular large hospital for further consultation to clarify the specific situation. You should pay attention to keeping a good mood, eat less spicy food, rest on time, exercise appropriately, and avoid colds and fatigue.

2. What to eat for rheumatoid disease

1. When preparing meals for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, different dietary treatments should be given according to the yin and yang, deficiency and excess, cold and heat of the disease. "Nourish the weak and drain the full", "Warm the cold, cool the hot, clear the warm, and warm the cool". For example, for cold arthritis, warm foods such as pepper and dried ginger should be used, but raw and cold foods should be avoided; for damp arthritis, diuretic foods such as coix seed and black beans should be used; for wind arthritis, pungent and warm dispersing foods such as onion and ginger should be used; for heat arthritis, generally there is a mixture of dampness and heat, so medicated food requires clearing the middle and promoting the flow, and spicy and stimulating foods should be avoided.

2. Secondly, patients with rheumatoid arthritis often adopt steaming, stewing, boiling, making soup, soaking in wine, and other methods in their diet to make the cooked food both delicious and retain its medicinal properties. Salad oil, corn oil, olive oil, sunflower oil and fish oil are preferred for cooking. Generally, cooking methods such as frying, roasting, boiling and stir-frying are not used.

3. Again, patients with rheumatoid arthritis often suffer from long-term illness and physical weakness, so their diet should be reasonable and moderate. Therefore, you should not overeat or have abnormal hunger when eating. You should be punctual and eat in moderation. The diet should follow the principle of small meals, less irritating food, high protein, medium fat, low sugar, high vitamins, medium calories and low salt, and more delicious and easy-to-digest food. The appropriate ratio of carbohydrates, compounds, proteins and fats in the diet is 3:2:1.
