What Causes Numb Heel?
The past few months I have had a slight numbness on the outside of my left heel. It does not affect walking or balance. Recently I have really bad numbness in the thumb and index and pointer fingers. Mainly when I sleep. I wake up and can't feel anything. It starts to go away when I get up. Are these 2 things related?

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that your symptoms could be related to carpal tunnel syndrome and to tarsal tunnel syndrome.
I recommend performing a nerve conduction study to examine the nerves in your limbs.
You should consult with a neurologist and discuss on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
