HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well numbness on one side of the body indicates that some brain damage has happened. A CAT scan may not show brain damage if done early.

I would recommend you to get any MRI Brain to check for any possible Brain damage. Kindly don't delay. If MRI comes normal then no need to worry and your symptoms shall subside in 1-2 days.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
