Question : Hello, the other night i got a really bad headache, my left side of my face felt numb, and my body felt warm and tingly. It went away in about 20 minutes. Is this anything to worry about?

Brief Answer:
Seems not a serious condition, however, get examined further.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Since the headache and other symptoms went away yours is not a serious condition.

However, a checkup for possible high blood pressure, stenosis of the carotid arteries, should be done, because these conditions together with migraine headaches may cause such symptoms. Discuss with your primary care doctor about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
