Hi rozita I had numbness like this quite a few years ago and it turned out to be anxiety and stress related. I would get it checked out just for your own peace of mind.
All the best melxx

Hello Rozita, The numbness could be lots of things and I would get it checked out but I do not think there is any reason to panic. First post of call? Make an appointment to see your GP.
It could also be tooth related as there is a nerve going down each side of your face. So a check up at the dentist could perhpas follow that if your doctor thinks it is appropriate. You are obviously worried but it may disappear tomorrow all by itself. I will look out to see how you get on. Val

Hi i got numbness down one side of my face that felt like an injection wearing off & sensitive to the cold. I was seen by a neurologist & given tablets but it cleared up on its own. He couldn’t find a reason for it and gave the standard could have been caused by chemo or radiotherapy response!!

Hi it go away after a few days so maybe if was tooth related or how I slept but I have noticed it before so will be a bit more vigilant if it happens again hopefully not. Hope your feeling a bit better juro it’s just a worry after everything wev gone through Rozita x
