Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Loss of balance with numbness of toes and fingers along with trouble in vocalizing is indicative of neurological disorder. It may be due to central nervous system involvement along with cerebellum. Also, it may be associated with peripheral neuropathy caused due to diabetes.
Kindly get a complete neurological examination done by consulting Neurologist for appropriate diagnosis and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
