Are Tingling And Numbness On Face Due To Stroke?
Hi I am a 52 male a little overweight but in good health I have been on holiday where the temperature has been hot when laying in bed the other evening my left side of face started tingling and going numb as did my arms this passed after about 10 mins but caused some worry? Could it be the heat? Or maybe lying in bed on my arm under the pillow or signs of a stroke?

Hi, I'm Dr. Maria Daud.
You may have had a transient ischemic attack but this depends on some factors like if you are overweight, hypertensive or diabetic. You must have mentioned your weight in your query. Exercise regularly. Brisk walk for 30 minutes 5 times a day is enough. Avoid oily and junk foods. Get your blood pressure and blood sugar levels checked and control your body weight.
Hope my answer will help you.
