General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Experiencing numbness in the feet could be due to two reasons:
1. Varicose veins.
2. Vitamin B12 and Thiamine deficiency.
Kindly get checked for Varicose veins by consulting Surgeon. It would cause proper circulation in the affected limb leading to ischaemic numbness.
In case that is not the cause, kindly take Multivitamin capsules once daily for a month along with antioxidant Vitamin E capsules.
Your symptoms should subside gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
