This is something that might be worth a visit to a clinic or physician. It could even be a little 'stroke'. Someone who sees you could tell if you need to lose weight, eat better, take more exercise or whatever....

This could be caused by a majority of problems. If you experience numbness on one side of your body, you may want to go to the Emergency Room.

It could be something as small as a pinched nerve, or maybe you bumped the area and don't remember. However, it could also be an indicator of something such as a stroke.

It is nearly impossible to give you an accurate answer with such small details given.

Go to the nearest Hospital / Emergency care facility. Not your doctor, go to a facility offering walk-in patients. They will be able to check and give you advice or care (if needed).

It is most likely a neurological problem stemming from either a spinal nerve root or peripheral nerve (such as carpal tunnel syndrome). It could also be a vascular insufficiency problem or even be systemic in origin (more serious). It would be important to get a thorough physical exam with orthopedic and neurological testing from either your primary care doctor, orthopedist or evidence-based chiropractor to get a proper diagnosis and receive education on your treatment options.

Assuming this condition is from minor nerve inflammation it can be managed rather effectively with conservative approaches. If this condition evolves into weakness and loss of coordination I would recommend seeing a specialist immediately.
