Question 1

Today i started to feel a tingling sensation in my right cheek for no reason, and when i touch my face it gets stronger. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

The truth is, odds are such a sensation may just go away on its own and we will never know why. If it continues to get worse or is associated with an loss of movement or drooping of the face see a doctor asap.  There is a phenomenon called trigeminal neuralgia which can cause local numbness on the face and would also be worth having your doctor check out if the sensation continues tommorow.

Question 2

For about 2 weeks now i have been having a cold tingling sensation in my right cheek on my face.  followed by a migraine. please tell me what this is.

Accepted Answer

What you are describing could certainly be considered a somewhat unusual presentation of aura to a migraine headache. And precisely because of its unusual nature and the fact that it is on only one half of the face my recommendation is that you see a neurologist so that they can get more details to this story.

Question 3

Are numbness and tingling different things? i get head tingling and cheek tingling (one side?

Accepted Answer

Great question. It is also complicated because it depends on how each person feels and describes a sensation (and can overlap). Typically numbness refers to a decrease in sensation, while tingling usually refers to a pinprick like sensation. An example: your arm "falls asleep" by being in an atypical position for too long. It may feel numb at first, but as it returns to normal, may feel tingle.

Question 4

I have tingling followed by a burning sensation on my left cheek, which last for a  hour. had it for  a week now?

Accepted Answer

Tingling and burning symptoms are typically nerve based in nature.  This may be an isolated neuralgia that self resolves.  If it persists it may be a form of trigeminal (fifth nerve) neuralgia, a pain condition that can be treated with nerve pain medications.  A MRI of the brain may be recommended if symptoms are persistent.

Question 5

Bottom part of my face is tingling slightly. from my mid cheek and down. doesnt hurt and i feel fine but that is strange.

Accepted Answer

Especially if these symptoms are on just one side of the face i would be concerned that it could represent a mini stroke or stroke, and more worried if you have issues with your hand/arm or speech. I so be seen right away! other causes can be an infection like shingles so early care is needed there as well.If continues best to get checked.

Question 6

Have severe burning/tingling of face, began about three months ago with slight burning sensation right cheek. over time has enveloped entire face?

Accepted Answer

There are many possible causes of facial burning sensation, and the answer for you requires more detailed evaluation. 
Some inflammatory conditions and immunologic problems can cause this. Allergy to certain medications is possible, for example. Your doctor should be able to help.

Question 7

What can cause tingling / numbness in left cheek and lips?

Accepted Answer

The anatomy involves trigeminal nerve, but the cause may be complex.  There is a sensory trigeminal neuropathy which could do this, but one might consider problems in jaw or mouth as a provocateur.  Some intracranial situations should be excluded via MRI.  A neurologist or a dentist could be a starting point.

Question 8

What would cause tingling in the left side of my body? (from cheek to foot )

Accepted Answer

I would be concerned about a problem in the cerebral cortex in the right side of the brain. A neurologist would be best to evaluate this symptom and order the appropriate tests.

Question 9

I've seen my dr and she says i'm healthy. but i've been dealing with a lot of health anxiety and i have had tingling in cheek off and on. stress?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety can cause all kinds of physical symptoms, including tingling in the cheek.  This happens especially when someone is hyperventilating from anxiety.  You may well benefit from psychotherapy with a psychologist, focusing on your health anxiety and learning some new ways of dealing with it. Xanax (alprazolam) can help intermittently, but risks dependence when used chronically.

Question 10

Migraine with tingling numbness in lips and left cheek. not dangerous?

Accepted Answer

If it is migraine than it may be okay.......But you need to see headache specialist for diagnosis. You may need MRI to r/o other conditions.
