What Causes Tingling Sensations In The Face?

This afternoon I was at my mom s. We were sitting outside and decided to go in the house. When I went to sit at the kitchen table I suddenly had a strange sensation and felt a slight tingling in the left side of my face. I tried to tell my mom I couldn t talk right but then before she could hear me, I got over it and felt normal again. Could that have been a mini-stroke?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think it is mini stroke.
I think you are having hypersensitive nerves of face which is causing tingling.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is the most common cause for hypersensitive nerves.
So start vitamin b 12 supplements.
You will mostly improve with this.
No need to worry for stroke.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
