A member asked:

I have been having some ear pains then a sudden numbness of the left side of face and left arm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ER: dangerous symtoms which require STAT ER/CT scan evaluation. This is probably an inner ear issue; however, with left sided facial and arm numbness: get check-ASAP!
