Hi,
Numbness in the body can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor circulation,
nerve damage, vitamin deficiencies, certain medications, and underlying health conditions such as
diabetes or multiple
sclerosis. Given your age, physical characteristics, and lifestyle factors, it is possible that poor circulation may be the cause of your numbness. Living in a less moisturized atmosphere and not exercising regularly can both contribute to poor circulation. Additionally, certain medications can cause numbness as a side effect.
I would recommend that you speak with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your numbness. They may perform a physical examination, run some tests, or refer you to a specialist to investigate further.
In the meantime, it may be beneficial to make some lifestyle changes to improve your circulation, such as incorporating regular exercise into your routine, staying hydrated, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, some
home remedies, such as soaking in warm water or using compression stockings, may provide temporary relief. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new treatments.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
