New : New symptoms of numbness and weakness in the face or in a limb, and with nausea and vomiting could indicate a serious problem involving the brain, like a stroke. They should be checked out by a doctor. To check the problem, the doctor will ask questions (including questions about risk factors for stroke), medical history (including history of chronic conditions like migraine with sensory or motor aura), and personal habits (including use of any recreations drugs like methamphetamine), and may order tests including blood tests and imaging (like MRI of the brain).

Sensory : Sensory symptoms affecting the face and upper limb can be caused by problems affecting one of several parts of the central nervous system (brain, brainstem and spinal cord). Nausea (a feeling like you have to throw up) can be caused by problems affecting the brainstem, among other places. The range of possible explanations for a syndrome of numbness of one side of the face, one upper limb, and nausea includes migraine and stroke. Determining which of the many possibilities is correct requires a more detailed story, an examination, and possibly testing. New symptoms, or symptoms that don't get better, is a good reason to get checked out by a doctor.
