left hand feels numb!?

i have this numb feeling on my left hand, not my entire hand just where my pinkie and ring finger are. It has happened twice within the past two weeks.The first time it happened it only lasted about 10 minutes but today i woke up laying down on my hand so that might be the cause. I got the feeling on and off today. It could be because i tend to sleep on my arm a lot. This might help too, I'm only 15 and i went to the doctor not too long ago and according to them I'm perfectly healthy. Has this happened to anyone else. should i be concerned?

    are you involved in any sports or activities where you have repetative motion with that hand? it may be a pinched nerve, inflammation of a tendon or somthing like that. do you wear any jewelry that might be cutting off your circulation in those fingers/arm? did you mention the numbness to your doctor when you were there or was it just a rountine well visit? if it concerns you, tell your parents and ask to go back to the doctor. you know your body, so when something just doesn't feel right, have it checked out. if you find out your fine, you won't have to dwell on it and you can concentrate on just being 15 :)
