I am a poor sleeper always have been. came home and literally passed out couldn t shake PURE exhaustion. went to work Friday feeling poorly and left after 2 hours when I arrived finally at 1pm. then things get worse. came home and again passed out from 330 til 9pm then went to bed its 47 here my house is 68 and I laid pooring sweat. the migraine medicine helps for like a 60 min window, my right eye and corner of mouth is slightly well is def droopy... woke this morning to feeling like right side of face in large area has like a novacaine numbness. and migraine still and literally sleeping all day and night. But if it was a mild stroke wouldn t I be much worse?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Numbness can be associated with migraine attacks, but it subside after the migraine attack.
If your hemifacial numbness is still persisting then there is need to rule rule out bell's palsy in your case. For that you can get yourself examined by nearby neurologist.
Wish you good health and all the best.
