A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a saddle pulmonary embolism 6 weeks ago & my lip keeps going numb & tingly cud this be due to oxygen levels in my blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lip: Tingling in the lips is more likely to be due to co2 being low from overventilation rather than low oxygen. There are other possibilities also.......

Dr Zebro (formerly Woldegiorgis) and another doctor agreed
