Why do my hands feel weak

My hands feel like they're weak and numb and i feel like i might drop things. Although I don't actually drop anything - it's just the sensation of them feeling weak & clumsy that is bothering me.

I'm finding it hard to describe even writing it here which is putting me off going to GP and embarrassing myself.

I don't know if it's just tiredness from having constant broken sleep (due to bf toddler). Anxiety of thinking there is some neurological disorder? I'm 40.

Has anyone experienced similar and found a cause?

I had this! My GP sent me for a blood tests and the results showed that I was very low on Vitamin D and Calcium. I have been taking supplements for a couple of months now and the weakness is now gone. Low Vitamin D levels can cause joint and muscle weakness. I recommend that you go to you contact your GP and get a blood test.
