What Causes Numbness On The Right Side Of The Body?
Whenever I lie down on the right side of my body, my right ear immediately goes numb. I can t feel it at all. It happens Every time and usually comes back to normal after 2-3 minutes. I have been listening to a lot of music through my earphones lately. I can hear some screeching noises in my ear when it s on the verge of getting to normal. I wake up everyday with a numb right ear if I ve slept on the right side of my body. Is it a major issue and should I get it checked by an ent specialist ?

Consultation of an orthopedic dictor &
X ray/MRI of cervical spine would pin point the cause ... followed by needful treatment advice by the e pert. (It could be Physiotherapy ,pain medicines,steroid local injection orr surgery in few cases)
