What Causes A Feeling Of Numbness In The My Face?
Hi last week I started feeling numbness on my face and arms, yesterday I went to the ER and after running blood tests they came up with nothing. I was thinking about what can be causing this, I was wondering I have been driving my car with an cracked exhaust manifold which I didn t realize I have been breathing it.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to Bell's palsy. It is a condition that typically causes numbness on one side of your face. Bell's palsy sets in suddenly, and is most likely caused by the herpes virus. I suggest to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
