Hello,

Numbness of the body and face is not a sign of rheumatic fever. Most of the time if numbness is so spread very likely it is due to anxiety but it is best for you to have a visit with your PCP or a neurologist and have a neurological examination to make sure all is well.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
