Brief Answer:
My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the numbness and cold feeling in the the bottom of your feet could be related to a pinched nerve.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a nerve conduction study.
The small dark bruise in your toe could be related to a trauma. Anyway, I would also recommend performing coagulation tests to investigate for a coagulation disorder, if other bruises appear in other parts of your body, in the absence of any trauma.
Regarding your blood pressure values, I would explain that they seem to be borderline. They could be related to the emotional stress that you have been experiencing lately.
For this reason, I would just recommend reducing salt and caffeine intake in your diet.
I would encourage you to follow your healthy diet.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
