A member asked:

Mild very mild shock sensation on left side of tongue for a year. oral surgeon said tongue looks healthy and i need ai mri on central brain why???????

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Listen to advice: Your oral surgeon sounds very wise, and his advice should be heeded, as you may have an issue at the base of the brain, prompting the episodes. Perhaps see a neurologist first, and discuss appropriate studies, as there maybe some additional tests besides the MRI.
