What Causes Intermittent Numbness In The Face And Hand Along With Headaches?

I have a friend who wakes in the morning often w a sharp lower right side of head headache. after awhile it goes away. Often his neck is really tight and at times a numbness comes over the right side of his face. At times his right hand sort of get numb with an almost spasm like paralysis affecting his right hand fine motor. It comes and goes but comes again.

Hello,

As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
