What Causes Tingling Sensation On The Left Side Of The Face?

About 8 times over the last month, I am getting this sharp tingling on the left side of my face above my cheek and below my eye. It lasts for about 2-3 seconds then it goes away. I had not had this for the last few weeks, but today it happened twice.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your neurological examination should be done for this to look for neurological affection. Check your serum B12 level and random sugar level because B12 deficiency and diabetes can lead to neuropathy. Check calcium level and liver and renal profile for further work-up. If specific cause is found then treated accordingly. Consult nearby physician for examination and further work-up accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
