Headaches, Weakness, Dizziness, Head Heaviness, Tingling, Numbness In Face, Tongue, Hands. Causes?
I had symtoms of headache ,weakness, dizziness ,head rush,faint feeling,and then a tingling that took over starting from the head and face and went down whole body like a wave causing muscles to draw up,numb, and paralyze in its path especially in the face, tongue and both hands. It went away and came back a few times over a few hours. This was a one day occurance 5 years ago and it has not come back, but what was that?

Hi,
It most probably seems like you had hypocalcaemia along with other electrolyte imbalances mostly in sodium and potassium.
Since it was a one-day occurrence, there is no need to worry about it.
If the episode recurs, neurological evaluation may be required.
Hope this helps.
