Can occasional numbness in the lips be a symptom of something?

Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Numb lips: Usual cause is reduced blood flow to the lips, such as exposure to cold (drinking cold beverage), aura of a migraine attack, panic attacks, low blood sugar, or allergic reaction to food such as shell fish. If persists or reoccurs, consult your doctor.
