Numbness in my feet

I don't have diabetes. I do have a pacemaker but have never had a circulation problem. Have had a treadmill nuclear stress test. No problem there? I do have a physical every year with a complete blood work up but not sure about vitamin deficiency. I'm 83 and in pretty good shape except for my numbness in my feet.

You may want to have your vitamin b12 and b6 checked. Deficiencies or toxicities of B vitamins can cause neuropathy.

Do you take a multivitamin?

You also may want a mri of your lumbar spine to see if you have any compression causing foot numbness. I had numbness in both feet that was tied to my lumbar spine and it improved after I had surgery.

I also take alpha Lipoic acid and acetyl l carnitine supplements plus magnesium that helps my neuropathy.
