Accepted Answer

The : The different symptoms described are not typical, and i would advise that you be medically evaluated.  Any tingling/numbness must always be considered a warning sign for neurological (nervous system) problems and must be taken seriously.  Having an "aura", with strange smells or the feeling you are getting of a weird taste in your mouth can also be concerning for neurological problems, as can the vision change.  I would advise that you be medically evaluated for these symptoms.  When you see a physician, it will be important to tell your entire health history, any family history of medical problems, and any other recent symptoms that you notice.

Discuss this with your physician who can refer you to a speciaiist who will order the appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis and get you treated.

Question 10

what conditions that could lead to numbness and tingling in the nose and mouth?

Accepted Answer
