Numbness can be due to neuropathy and sometimes detailed examination and investigations are required . Best suited for this is neurologist but internal medicine specialist will do as well

You should visit the physician for clinical assessment
kindly book an online video consultation appointment for proper evaluation and further management plan
Kindly provide details history of your numbness, is your other part body have same symptoms , any change in colour of your hand and fingers along with pain . Weakness of hands, Shoulder, hip & leg muscles with numbness.You will also need GIT work up , if these vitamins & Iron are absorbed properly or not ? Once the diagnosis is made , treatment can be given accordingly. We have to find out the cause of its deficiency.
Your hand numbness at night can be from nerve pressure at the wrist/neck (like early carpal tunnel) and your low vitamin B12, D and ferritin can also cause or worsen nerve symptoms. A general multivitamin like Centrum is usually not enough to correct these low levels, so you likely need proper doses of B12, vitamin D and iron after reviewing your reports.Please book an appointment so I can check which nerves are involved, see your exact reports and then start you on the right treatment and supplements
