Best Answer

There are enough different conditions or disorders that might manifest as a feeling of numbness or loss of sensation in areas of the torso, that the only way to know what might be the cause is to have the symptoms evaluated by a medical professional.

Anytime there is numbness or tingling in any area of the body, there is cause to seek urgent medical attention, since some causes can be very serious and may result in a permanent condition or nerve damage without intervention on a timely basis. It is best not to delay an evaluation of these symptoms.

The cause of the numbness can only be determined with a complete history of the symptoms, such as when they started, if they have happened before, how exactly you describe the feelings, the exact location of the numbness, plus a thorough physical exam with probably some laboratory and/or other medical testing.
