Get examined and evaluated by neurologist before investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Numbness over face and leg and hand may be due to various causes and needs proper examination by a neurologist to decide upon need of investigation.
It can be seizure related if the numbness is episodic. It can be demyelinating disorder of brain.
Even neuropathy may manifest like this.
Is there any headache, visual loss, seizure, loss of consciousness, vomiting, weakness, neck pain?
Any previous illness or medication?
You may require brain imaging and nerve conduction if clinical examination is abnormal.
Sometimes stress also leads to such sensation.
Visit to a neurologist will be helpful.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me with details.
