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.

: Your body is talking to you.  Listen and take good notes. Then share with your Dr. You all can then figure it out together.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Numbness,  tingling: 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 8

Accepted Answer

Many items: The fluctuation from side to side is unlikely to be due to a stroke or even focal decreased blood vessel flow.  Many migraine patients due experience problems with auras, and this can include facial numbness, and, if headaches are associated perhaps this is the answer.  But clearly, this is troubling you, and need to have evaluated by your doctor.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: With headaches...especially migraines...sensory issues such as numbness can occur.  If this lasts more than a day you should contact your PCP.

Question 10

is it normal with a migraine on one side of the head causing that side of the body to be weak and numb?

Accepted Answer

Migraine: Certain types of migraine can result in weakness on one side of the body or body part. I assume that you have been fully evaluated and no other causes have been found.
