Tingly fingers and wrist/hand pain, carpal tunnel. what to do

I have a physical job and must have injured my wrist somehow because especially at nighttime my hand will readily get numb/tingly. After a little reading I think it may be carpal tunnel, which I don't know much about.
Was hoping somebody around here might have some tips on what to do about it, obviously I'm going to keep reading about it after posting this but you guys often know things the articles dont..

Eat right, exercise, and quit using tobacco and/or alcohol.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

stop jackin it so much.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Simple wrist brace worn at night has been godsend for mine. Not needed every night but when it acts up only. Shit is painful

I was skeptical of the braces at first but they're sounding more and more appealing to me.
If it'll prevent further irritation/inflammation I'm game. Can probably find those at a pharmacy

I wear a brace almost every day at work. It has helped alot but it took a few months to really feel like it was doing anything.
There are also exercises and carpal massages you can do. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=carpal+massage
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=carpal+tunnel+exercises
You just got to feel out what works best for you. Obviously you don't want to do exercises that are similar to what you already do at work, which is theoretically what would cause the carpal tunnel in the first place.

At work hold your wrists as if you were wearing the brace... Straighten wrist.... Do you grind or similar @ work? Or wear brace at work if you can..... I had it bad I thought when I was a grinder but it went away eventually.. sometimes I'd zip my pants up and get a jolt, and hand and arm would go numb often.... But I started taking it easy and being less gung ho.... It went away. Good luck

No grinding, all I was doing was tossing/stacking long boards. I must've just been too gung ho

There is a select few people that actually feel worse with a brace, because it can further compress your carpal tendon. So I'd keep open to the other advice you're getting

Krill oil, B100+C, and magnesium citrate helps a lot.
