No: With headaches...especially migraines...sensory issues such as numbness can occur. If this lasts more than a day you should contact your PCP.

Not necessarily: Migraine events could cause facial numbness or even visual loss, and hand tingling. Since I have no further information, recommend you talk to your doctor, and consider MRI film to clarify.
