What Causes Numbness In Left Foot?
The bottom of my left foot has been asleep for 2 days, I don t have the pins and needles feeling it just feels kinda numb. There is no pain, swelling or discoloration. It started after I stood up from watching some TV and at first I figured that I was just sitting on foot too long but it hasn t gone away yet.

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would recommend consulting with the neurologist for a careful physical examination and a nerve conduction study.
It may be a pinched nerve from physical compression.
It will probably resolve spontaneously.
Anyway, it is important to perform the above mentioned tests, to exclude other possible disorders.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best regards!
