HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I had gone through the history given here and I could say that if the imaging study is unremarkable then the symptoms of numbness could be due to local nerve compression or it could be due to nonspecific reason and for that it is nothing to worry it is the temporary phase and soon will be over, it is nothing to take anything with the thyroid dysfunction but of course it could be stress condition that may cause this kind of numbness hope this information helps.
