Body numbness : It depends on many factors. Usually if that numbness is accompanied by weakness of your extremities or face, chest pain, it merits immediate attention and you should go to the ed. If you suffer of other conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, for example labs should be done to evaluate what is going on.
