How To Treat Headache With Left Jaw Pain And Left Sided Numbness?
Hi I ve been getting lots of headaches lately with my left jaw slightly hurting and my left side of my face is slightly numb. Also when I ve been for a run the left side of my head felt strange and heavy like there was a weight resting on it. Thank you.

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM! I understand your concern.
These symptoms may be related to a temporal arteritis or an intracranial lesion. The numbness on your face is a little concerning for an intracranial lesion.
I would recommend you to consult a neurologist for a careful physical examination and a routine blood test for inflammation. A brain CT scan would be very helpful to exclude a possible intracranial lesion.
Hope to have been of help!
