Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

It is necessary to get treated about your high blood pressure first, and to normalize it by getting evaluated by your primary care Doctor.

If the numbness persists after high blood pressure control, other causes of numbness such peripheral neuropathy should be considered and evaluated further.
