A member asked:

On and off numbness on r.front of head and r.side of face. along w/numbness and symptoms on and off on r.side of body. what could be causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbness: This is hard to answer by telemedicine without an exam, but if it has persisted for a while, I recommend you see a neurologist for a better exam and perhaps MRI. Good luck!
