This is most likely neuropathic pain. Also you are Asthmatic. Kindly mention the asthma medications you are taking ?

Do you also get frequent cramps ? Also do you have chronic pain along with the numbness ?
Do you have other conditions like diabetes, hypertension pr arthritis ?

Kindly reply to the above questions, then we can get the tests done and start with the medications

You probably has lumbar disc degenerative disease with radiculopathy causing numbness in both limbs...Avoid stairs, lifting weights, prolonged sitting.Do regular brisk walking for 30 minutes.Get your diabetes, B12 status checked.Numbness in hands can be due to carpal tunnel syndrome or cervical disc issues..Avoid pillows,do neck isometrics.
