Suggest Treatment For Severe Numbness On The Face
I am a 57 yr old woman and I m sitting here tonight watching a little tv before going to bed when suddenly I am feeling a weird numbness sensation in my face , particularly around my mouth and feel a bit shaky inside. I just checked my bp and it s 108 over 59. I am taking bp meds for hypertension but not sure why the sudden drop and weird feeling. I have been having issues the past couple of days with a couple of teeth that are decayed between them. Does this have anything to do with what s going on with my bp and should I do anything tonight to raise it somehow?

hello welcome to healthcaremagic.com
numbness around face is sometime due to decreased calcium levels in blood. It could be due to your medication or certain other factors which needs to be evaluated with proper history.
My recommendation is to visit your physician for the same on early basis.
if you are also having symptoms of muscle cramps or lightheadedness, palpitations visit physician on a urgent basis.
mild facial numbness lasting few mins to half hour is also seen in normal individuals, not requiring any treatment.
follow me at hcm for further query\second opinion
