Hey. A few mounths ago I was walking to the front of my math class and my one leg was not responding. It was just dragging behind me. I was like ok just pay attention to my walking and it still dragged be hind me this continued for about 30 seconds to a minute.

Is this normal???

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you had been sitting prior to starting to walk then it could just be a temporary loss of function as sometimes happens. Once the circulation is restored, the limb becomes normal. However if you had been walking and it started all of a sudden, then it could be a TIA or transient ischemic attack. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.  Do consult a doctor once and get this investigated. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Umm no there was no pain involved at all and I'm not sure if my foot felt asleep or not it may have I don't remember.

Yes it is normal, what happened was your foot fell asleep. While you were sitting your foot had no movement and so the blood stopped flowing making it numb. When you started walking your foot hadn't woken up yet so it was still technically sleeping and so that is why it was dragging...I hope that answered your question.
