Why Does Stomach Feel Numb?
The side of my stomach feels like it is numb or fallen asleep. It used to happen when I sat, but now its when I lay and even stand. It doesn t hurt per say but it feels like it feels when your e foot has finished falling asleep. It tingles. It is not continual, but it s happening more often and more often.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The simplest reason for such a tingling feeling on the side of stomach can be either psychological , due to stress and anxiety or can be a problem with the spinal cord in the form of some inflammation or disc protruding .
Get a consultation of a Neurologist as there can be a worst deep rooted problem.
Get an MRI of the spine done.
Do not neglect.
