Hi. I have been having episodes of being light headed and numbness and tingling on the back of my tongue for the past 3 weeks. 3 months prior to this I woke up in the middle of the night with parethesis of my arms and face and a bad headache. The headaches have continued. I am 33 and otherwise healthy. Should I be concerned? Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Based on details you have neurological symptoms which localizes to brainstem /cerebral hemisphere region
Tingling and numbness of tongue indicates involvement of lingual nerve which is branch of trigeminal nerve.
Previous history of paresthesia of face and arm with headcahe indicates involvement of sensory system located at cranial region.
Hence I suggest you to consult neurologist for clinical examination and may require imaging brain
Regards
