General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello and thank you for asking HCM,

I understand your concern. Regarding to your symptoms it could be connected with anemia or mineral imbalance in your body. So my suggestion is to visit your GP and ceck up your blood. The other reason could be with your spine. Sometimes disk protrusion (hernias) can lead to these symptoms. Your nerves are squeezed and this feels like numbness. So if your blood test is ok than visit a neurologist or make xray to check your spine.

I hope this answer was helpful to you.
