Can unexplained numbness on the side of head and face be a precursor to a stroke?

Nonspecific: Unilateral (1-sided) head ; facial numbness, depending on your personal ; family medical history, can be stroke, migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, tic douleureux, among others. Have your neurologist search for an explanation, do not ignore it thinking it will just go away. Good luck!
