Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: If you still have problems consult your physician immediately.  If no current problems, no current concern.

Question 2

will e cig make the tongue feel numb and interfere with taste buds?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: It should not make your tongue numb, but could have some affect on taste.  There is not long term data or studies on e-cig use, tough, so not much is really known on the side effects, or harm in use.  Many medications can affect taste, as well.

Question 3

even being on a beta blocker my tongue has been going numb causing extreme dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Neurology: It sounds like you have symptoms that should be evaluated by a neurologist. It can be misleading to assume one symptom is being caused by another. There could be a common underlying issue or there may be several things going on.  The only safe plan is to get evaluated and develop a treatment plan.

Question 4

at night, when laying down, my tongue will go numb and have burning sensation for a few seconds then go away...what causes that?

Accepted Answer

Good question: There is no easy answer for this, as there is too little information available.  Your tongue going numb and burning is not normal, and could have several causes. Please see a dentist, oral surgeon, ENT (ear nose throat) physician and/or nurologist to have your tongue and associated tissues, including the nerves, examined.  Only with the whole picture will someone be able to help you.

Question 5

random tingling in tongue? kinda like its numb.. it happens every now and then and usually its in the back of the tongue or the left side.. it happens for a few seconds and goes away. one time it last like 30-45 minutes what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Tumbness: The tongue is supplied by the 5th and 12th cranial nerves.  The nerves come from the ear or atleast travel close to it. The area has muscles, stylohyoid, and structure like the parotid gland. Some type of process pressing on nerve could be a facor. Some type of ischemic issue such as  TIA possible, but your are young for that.

Question 6

what does it meam when my tongue goes numb?

Accepted Answer

Numb tongue: Numbness or tingling is related to nerve involvment. A thorough exam and nerve exam will be needed to determine the cause. See your dentist or oral surgeon for evaluation.

Question 7

why does my tongue go numb when im drunk?

Accepted Answer

CNS depression: Alcohol tends to depress the central nervous system, don't drink so much and keep your wits about you.

Question 8

i sometimes get a numb tongue!   and a brown coating that will not go away?  what can i do about it?

Accepted Answer

Dental evaluation: In order to keep your tongue clean and healthy, use a tongue scraper every day. The numb tongue could be one of many things, either dental or medical in origin.  I think it's time to see a dentist for a complete and thorough examination.  Your dentist can evaluate your issues and advise you accordingly.

Question 9

i have a numbness on the tip (but in side) of my tongue. it's not going away and it's made the tip go numb...?

Accepted Answer

Seek an evaluation: It is hard to tell without examining you.  I would suggest a visit to an oral surgeon, oral medicine specialist, or ENT physician for an evaluation.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
