Hi,

If numbness appears many times then it's surely a concern.

Numbness may occur due to many causes varying from vitamin deficiency to nerve compression.

First of all, you have to get clinically examined by neurologist then start any treatment management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
