Get xray/CT: Something is happening to the nerve in your lower jaw. It should be checked out. Don't ignore this.

Ever since starting a full face mask for cpap I've had a numb chin. It's like when your dental anesthesia wares off because it presses on your chin. I switched to a nasal mask and hoping for relief. Could this be anything else? No stroke, I can smile?
