What Causes Numbness Above Ear And Head Area?
When I woke up earlier today right above my ear my head area was numb like it was asleep. I got up and it went away shortly. But, every once in awhile I feel a numb sensation around that area and down a little. It goes away quickly but is bothersome. Am I ok?

HI
You need to have this evaluated since there is either a pinched nerve problem or, very less likely, this could be a first sign of multiple sclerosis
