A member asked:
When i fly my left lip gets numb. sometimes it spreads up towards my cheek and nose, and sometimes it affects my teeth(only left side). what is it???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinus: The fact that your lip, nose and cheek on the left side suggests a left maxillary sinus blockage due to changes in air pressure. The affected nerve is the inferior orbital nerve. To ensure there is no other pathology present, see an ENT doc who will examine your and obtain xrays of the area.
