Hi, I am experiencing numbness in the last two fingers of my right hand, mostly in the mornings when I wake up. I am not diabetic (post meal sugar: 133). Previously, I had significant drooping of my right eyelid, which was evaluated by neurologists and an ophthalmologist, and nerve tests were normal, only vitamin deficiencies were found. After taking vitamins, my eyelid improved. However, now this intermittent numbness in my fingers every alternate morning is worrying me. Could this indicate a serious condition that I need to be alert about? Please advise. Thank you in advance.

I maintain a very healthy lifestyle with regular strength training and cardio, and I avoid fried and junk food. I am worried about the cause, some articles suggest deficiencies in folate, iron, or vitamin B12, but I have been taking folvite for the last 10 days. Since folic acid is crucial for the baby CNS development, I am quite anxious and want to know how to correct these values. Given my age and my father history of bypass surgery, my doctor has also prescribed daily heparin injections, which I have been taking for the last 4 days. Please advise on what I can do to bring these values back to normal. I have attached my report
