What Causes Numbness On The Tongue?

I have periods during all types of weather when I notice that my tongue feels like it has frozen and I find it hard to talk properly. This happens in cold weather, warm weather and hot weather. Most recently, it has been happening 6-7 times a day for the last 2 weeks. What can be causing this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Episodes of numbness of tongue can occur due to a number of causes like high blood pressure, mini stroke, Vitamin B12 deficiency, side effect of any medicine, allergy, nerve disorder etcetera.

So, it is advisable to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated. A clinical examination and investigations like observing the vitals, Vitamin B12 levels, MRI etcetera can be done for confirmation.

For now, you should take a nutritious diet and along with it, you should take Vitamin B complex supplement daily. Take sufficient rest and avoid stress.

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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
