Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possible peripheral neuropathy leading to numbness in fingers and along with autonomic dysfunction, responsible for hypotension and drowsiness.
2. Need to control blood sugar within normal range.
3. Get your HbA1C tested. If its high, then needs to be brought with strict diet, medication, moderate exercises and weight control.
4. For peripheral neuropathy, additionally Vit B12 and alpha lipoic acid supplements necessary. You need to take it regularly. Get an X-ray of cervical region to rule out cervical spondylosis. Meet your doctor for investigations.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
