What Causes Numbness In Lips And Tongue?

I have numbness in lips and tongue (left side) and left side of the face below the eye. I also have numbness in lower left arm/hand, on the left side. Any ideas on what this could be? my CT scan was fine, and don t have syphilis or HIV and haven t been bitten by a tick.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a brain MRI in order to exclude MS. I also recommend to closely monitor your blood pressure values.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
