Could The Numbness In My Lips And Gums Due To Lack Of Oxygen?

Hi,
I am a 19 y.o. 6ft 135lb (very skinny, runs in my family) male swimmer
I currently swim 4 days a week
and recently I have noticed numb lips and gums behind my teeth.
is this due to a lack of oxygen? Or is it something else?
None of the other swimmers I swim with have this problem or tell me I have blue lips.
Thank you!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem the numbness of lips and gums are not because of lack of oxygen, this is just your idea which is totally wrong, and forget about that, this is kind of local irritation of lips and gums and have no any specific reason and this will get alright soon, stop paying attention towards this, hope this information helps you have good day.
