Numbness In Nose, Forehead And Eyelid, Tingling In Tongue. Had Tooth Pulled Recently. Any Ideas?

I woke up the other morning and my nose felt kind of numb then I noticed that my forehead felt cold or numb and then my eyelid. I can still raise my eyelid, it just feels funny. Over the past hour or so the left side of my tongeu feels kind of tingly. I had a toothe pulled about 3 weeks ago and I called the dentis. He told me that it doesn't sound like it is a tooth thing since it did not occur right away. I am thinking stroke or sinus issues. My nose has been stuffed up lately. What does it sound like to you.

Hi, it appears to be the precurser of the facialpalsy, occurs due to the pressure on the facial nerve, on its way to the face, if the pressure is more it may lead to the bells palsy. it appears that there is pressure and release of the pressure, probably due to the soft tissue pressure.
i advise you to consult a neurologist to prevent on going bells palsy. you may need to have C.T.scan to find the facial nerve. Thank you.
