Question 1

can sinus problems make my face feel numb or tingly even to the point where it's only one side sometimes my tongue too? my bp is116/81

Accepted Answer

Maybe, but?: Those symptoms are not typical of sinus problems. The numbness and tingling are more of a concern and especially with your tongue involved as well since those structures are not connected. You may want to see an ENT specialist to look into this further and some imaging scans of your head/neck may be needed. Good luck.

Pregnancy?: When was your last menstrual period and have you been sexually active? Vomiting is common in early pregnancy. If you aren't keeping in fluid, you may need emergency treatment fir rehydration via IV. When did you last urinate? Any other symptoms? Think about these questions and if in doubt a visit to the ER might be reasonable. You could have migraine related GI issues as well... Feel better soon!

The roots may have been long and they may have extended into the sinus... only your surgeon knows for sure. Your sinus issues and pain may not be related to the extraction, but unfortunately it may take more time for the pain and pressure to resolve if they are related.
