Face numb: How long have you had this. Pressure from sleeping position can do this. Is it one sided or two? You need to map out the areas of numbness to help the doctor make a diagnosis and treatment. Does it only involve the lip area? That would be the second division of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve) Use a picture of a face to map the area on numbness to show to your doctor.
