What Causes Numbness On The Left Side Of The Face?
Hi It all started in January last year when I experienced numbness on the left side of my face, particularly my lip. I felt like my face was slightly swollen. The symptoms come and go for the following few months, then disappeared. I had a MRI of the brain with contrast which was normal. Then in November whilst in a restaurant I felt like I had an adrensline rush, jelly legs snd felt like I was going to pass out. Then another one the following month but I had an sura I smelt an odd smell then felt the adrenaline rush, and pins snd needles. Then from then on I have had constant pressure on my left side if face, by my temple and nose and my eye is teary and a headache and neck pain. Please could you advise me.

Hi there.
You could be having Migraine, Bell's palsy or TIA. You could be suffering from high blood pressure or Diabetes or both. Kindly eat low salt diet, avoid stressful situations, eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Get a consult from your Neurologist in this regard before it gets worse.
