General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tingling and numbness feeling in the feet could be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency. This is a possibility because you did not feel with previous medications what had been prescribed.
Kindly get your blood checked for Vitamin B 12 levels.
In case it is less, you need to be supplemented with injections and orally.
You need to take Vitamin B12 and Folic acid injections for 5 days.
Also, take orally Vitamin B complex capsules once a day for 30 days.
Your symptoms should get better soon.
All the best.
