Specializes in Psychiatry

Symptoms: Paresthesias are common with panic attakcs - often effecting lips, face or fingers. I am not sure why you have symptoms just on the right side of your face. It sounds like your panic attacks are not well controlled. If you are not already seeing a psychiatrist/ psychologist/ therapist - would recommend that.
