Cheek tingling/: Some drugs like cocaine can cause strokes even in the young. Do you have a family history of strokes clots?Do yo do wrestling/weight lifting as can get dissections which may have similar signs?Check it out now in ER, as symptoms like this should not be avoided. Could also be lyme ,herpes, MS cervical nerve compression or anxiety but that is when all else neg. f/U now in ER

Migraine with aura: The symptoms you report are classic for migraine with aura. A headache will often follow the aura symptoms but sometimes just the aura is experienced without a following headache. In between episodes the person is normal with no neurological abnormalities. The diagnosis is made on the basis of history. No MRI is needed(it would be normal) For excellent patient info see: http://bit.ly/1uHRnYm

Sounds like: Your description is most consistent with a classical migraine aura, and hopefully reversed fully within a short period of time. However, if lingering symptoms persist, contact your doctor for further management.
