Specializes in Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine

See a doctor: This could be something simple like an abnormal sensation, but also could be a stroke in a very specific part of your brain. You need to be examined to be sure it is not this type of stroke and rule out any serious issues. Other things like MS can present this way and you will need imaging of your brain.
