Numbness in both arms, pain in both hands, facial twitching, and nausea may be caused by various factors.
1. Long-term desk work, high pillows, or trauma may induce cervical spondylosis, leading to deformation and narrowing of the cervical spinal canal or intervertebral foramen, thus compressing the spinal cord and nerve roots in the neck, causing symptoms such as shoulder and neck pain, neck stiffness, and numbness in both arms. At the same time, cervical spondylosis may also affect the facial nerves, causing facial twitching.
2. Facial twitching may also be related to damage to the facial nerves, such as trigeminal nerve disorders, which may be accompanied by facial pain. In addition, numbness in both arms may be associated with peripheral nerve damage, such as peripheral neuropathy, which may be related to factors such as diabetes, infection, or tumors.
3. Nausea may be related to digestive system problems, such as gastritis or gastric ulcers. These diseases may cause damage to the gastric mucosa and excessive secretion of gastric acid, eroding the gastric wall and causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention and undergo relevant examinations to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.
