What Causes Facial Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Lips While Having Migraine?
I have been back and forth to doctors about my migraines they now have been getting worst and last night I have a externally bad pain in my right side of my head along with the back of my right eye having sharp pains and feeling as if it would fall out. Then my right side of my face felt numb and my right side of my lips were tingling then it eventually stopped and started to shake. What could this be and what should I do.

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, this seems more likely to be a cluster headache than a migraine. however local pathology like nerve impingement or cellulitis or sinusitis should be ruled out on X-ray PNS or CT brain if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
