Brief Answer:
It can be due to vitamin B12 or vitamin D deficiency.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

Your problem can be due to vitamin B12 or D deficiency. You go for B12 and Vitamin D level tests in blood.

In case if they are low taking those supplements will be helpful. Also take enough fluids for proper hydration.

It is also better to have a local examination with a general surgeon to rule out any vascular insufficiency.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
