What isNumbness 
Numbness, aka Hypoesthesia, indicates a lack of sensation in some particular area of your body. Everyone, at some point, goes through this numbness for a while. This is a very common phenomenon that causes tingling or sharp pain in the affected area. Numbness can be caused  due to many reasons like nerve compression, nerve injuries, constant pressure on hands and feet, lethargy, fatigue, excessive drinking, smoking, exposure to cold compress, lack of vitamin B12, magnesium, and nutritional deficiency. Medical conditions like diabetes, migraine, thyroid, carpal tunnel syndrome and multiple sclerosis may also increase the risk of hypoesthesia. 2.
