Thanks for your question on HCM. It is normal thing. Certain posture tend to compress the nerves. So when they compressed, the area supplied by them feels sore and numb. Best treatment is avoid such posture. If it happens frequently check your vit B 12 level. As deficiency of vit B 12 causes demylination of nerves and makes it more numb and sore. So nothing big to worry.
