What Causes Arms, Legs And Face Numbness?

i am 55 yr old female. i do have high blood pressure. i was sitting in recliner this evening kind of 1/2 napping and had what seemed to be a very real dream falling in the bathroom and not being able to speak or move. my husband said that i was thrashing and somewhat screamed. after that I got up and my arms, legs and face feel really numb. that was about 3 hrs ago and still very numb.

Hi,
This could be a brain stroke (Transient Ischaemic Attack) & you should immediately consult a neurologist for further evaluation & management.
