What Causes Dizziness Along With Numbness On The Face?

About half a hour ago it felt like the left side of my face was numb but I had no face drooping, numbness, difficulty understanding or talking or dizziness. And now it feels a little tight but that could just be nervousness. Is this something to worry about or could it just be linked to anxiety?

Hello,

In my opinion, the symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.

I suggest you to use an anti-anxiety medication to manage anxiety such as Xanax.

This is a prescribed medication so you should consult your doctor before the treatment.

If the symptoms continue you should consult a neurologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
