Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HI. For the last couple of months I have been intermittently having a feeling of slight numbness in my face on both sides of my cheeks and sometimes at the tip of my nose. I also feel slightly disoriented or off balance. It almost feels like a visual disturbance or minor delay when I turn my head or go from looking down or up. My husband reports that I have started snoring. I also have Hashimotos and have been very stressed lately, but these symptoms tend to occur when I am not stressed. They seem to be more prevalant at night. Hoping this could just be a sinus infection, although I don t feel like I have other symptoms to support that
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In your case no other congestive symptoms present to support diagnosis of sinusitis. Your neurological nerves examination has to be done here as numbness present along with visual disturbance. Check your vitamin B12 level and serum TSH as well. If after examination needed than CT scan can be done for further work up. Consult physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
