hello thanks for the quiery.. Nerve damage is one of the common causes of numbness. Numbness in the head can be caused by different factors, including injury or trauma to the neck muscles, a stroke, and even a neurological disorder. It is usually caused by stress and anxiety, and muscular problems in the neck, shoulder, and upper back region. Test like Nerve conduction studies (NCS),Electromyography (EMG) are carried out by a neurologist,, numbness of tongue can be caused by various factors such as trauma, recent extraction if injuring the lingual nerve,,either ways plz take a consult asap if numbness is chronic with a neurologist and to rule out dental causes of tongue numbness with a dentist,,hope it helps..tc
