    Check Mitts, bar width and reach as a basic start.

    I would be worried. Some Ergon grips might help.

    Dozens of possible reasons mostly related to putting pressure on a nerve, probably bike setup related. Do a search through the forums...

    Seat position (therefore how much weight you put through your arms) and the angle at which you hold your wrists can have an effect in addtion to those things mentioned above.
