A member asked:
One cheek is numb and heavy (mid-face to jawbone) after amusement park rides. not better on the following day. no other symptoms. what could it be?

YourStoryRingsABell: I guess you didn't find those rides very amusing! I suggest you watch your face for any asymmetry over the next few days, like maybe a corner of the mouth will droop or only half your smile will show or one of your eyes is a bit weak. If so, at your age, it won't be a stroke but could be a temporary nerve problem so see a doctor for evaluation and treatment. Ditto, if just the numbness persists.
