What Causes Intermittent Tingling And Numbness At Tip Of Nose?

The tip of my nose has been tingling and numb for the last couple days. It happens on and off and now it seems to be staying on (or maybe I m just noticing it more now). Any ideas? I did not bang it there was no drama nothing. I am a 49-year-old male in good health
