I woke up with facial numbness this morning. is this a sign of a health problem at 78?

Could be: A sudden loss of sensation is not normal. If confined to one side of the face, it could be a sign of a TIA (transient ischemic attack) or a stroke. There are other causes, but this is a symptom that should make you see your doctor immediately.
