What Causes Loss Of Sensation In The Hands And Feet?
Hello! I am 49, very fit, eat healthy 85% of the day, Exercise regularly 1 1/2 hours per day. I ve been noticing over the past year and half but, more recently, I am losing sensation in my hands and feet and to the touch of my skin. I cut my finger today as well as burned it and did not feel It. I have been finding, I lose my balance about 3 times a day. At least one time is during exercise in the morning at my crossfit class. I find my thought process is slow and I catch myself stuttering/getting caught on my words at times. I m getting concerned, I don t have a GP I usually go to the local walk-in clinic for convenience. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Thanks for your query on HCM
"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -
1)Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor [Neurologist]and to confirm do an MRI scan and Electromyography (EMG).
2)Do consult with your physiotherapist for any specific exercise plan as per scan report.
Follow few lifestyle modifications like this -
1)Get plenty of rest.
2)Continue your exercise plan and try to avoid exposure to heat.
3)Try to eat a balanced diet. You can take diet low in saturated fat but high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in olive and fish oils, may be beneficial and take vitamin D regularly.
4)Try to relieve stress.
Hope that helps
