Suggest Treatment For Tingling In The Face

I worked for a short time in my garden this morning in hot and humid weather. Only pulled weeds, and picked up some sticks. Since that time, I have been short of breath, chest hurts mildly, dizzy and tired and my mouth feels dry, but with an odd taste. I also have occasional tingling in my face. I lay down this afternoon and slept, but still feeling the same. I m 64, medium build, not overweight, do not smoke, no HBP. Over the last few months, when hiking, especially uphill, I notice I m prematurely out of breath and can t continue.

Hi,

The nerve supply to the face is through divisions of the same nerve. Therefore getting an injury in one area can cause tingling in another part. That is why the injury near the temple can be cause for tingling in the forehead.

The nerves originate in the brain and divide into 3 branches, they supply the skin over the face and forehead region. An injury in one region will cause a build-up of chemical transmitters which carry information on pain and strange sensations like numbness and tingling. When the wound is healing and the nerves also heal than the tingling like sensations appear. Since the nerve branches come together in the brain, therefore, the sensations from one nerve branch might appear as coming from another branch.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
