Hello, thank you for trusting Chat Doctor. Numbness in fingers near to the thumb plus the thumb could stem for pressure over the median nerve in what is called carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor.  Nerve conduction studies will be diagnostic in such case, it's not a life-threatening condition so you don't have to be very anxious about it. Nevertheless proper physical examination is the way to make sure everything is going well. Hope that helped.
