For the last two months, my left foot keeps falling asleep whenever i sit in an upright position (at desk, eating dinner etc). is this normal?

Lack of exercise: Foot falling asleep that frequently is not normal. If you are overweight, losing weight through exercise and diet will help. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
