A part of my right hand, just somewhere around the end of my ring finger and pinkie, experiences some mild numbness, like when your hand falls asleep. It just happened out of nowhere and now happens from time to time. It has been 30 minutes. Weird.

Hmmm it could be the beginning of “carpal tunnel syndrome”. Nothing too bad really, but it’s something that can happen, if you are conducting repetitive tasks with your hands.
You are doing exames, right? Writing non end, being tens can lead to some of the symptoms as well.
Try to relax your hands, use a hand exercise ball and treat yourself to a hand massage will help you.

Thank you, I think that might be it. I don't experience it a lot now, so I think I'm gonna be fine. :)

Rinka, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects the thumb, pointer and middle finger (first 3 fingers).

Kelculator, you may have hit your funny bone.. the ulnar nerve runs along inside of elbow into 4th and 5th finger (ring and pinky). A million things can cause this, anxiety being one.

Thanks for replying... That numbness has stopped now, so I don't think it is something big. Thanks again! :)
