Question : Hi,
I'm 31 years old with no sickness history except talasemia minor. I have a 5 months old new baby and breastfeeding . I have been through a lot recently and stressed so much in a past few months.
Earlier today when I was shopping suddenly I felt that I can not feel my right side of my lips and it was tingling. It has gone soon in less than 60 sec but it happened in my right hand's fingers for a few minutes right after that.
I just got home and googled it since I still feel a little bit uncomfortable in my lips and got scared that might be stroke or TIA although I did not have the other symptoms at all.
What do you think it was and should I be worried?
by the way I was holding my baby with my right hand for a few minutes.

Brief Answer:
Short lived tingling on the right hand and lips
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
These kind of symptoms of tingling are non specific and do not point specifically towards TIA or stroke in future. If you had suddenly loss the strength in the arm or unable to hold air in the mouth or stick out your tongue straight they need to be carefully assessed for stroke. If you had sudden vision loss and fell unconscious they typically mean cutting off blood supply to brain, which needs a review.
Holding your baby in the right hand can produce the tingling. New mothers will have new symptoms which they had not experienced earlier and lead to panic.
The single biggest reason I think of is STRESS which you already going through.
Motherhood is a joyful moment and you should start enjoying it to full. Once you enjoy each every moment of your recent promotion you would not react to this stress.
Hope I answered your question.
