What causes numb sensation in the face cheek area? when touched it doesnt feel numb it just feels weird? could it be caused to a pinched nerve on neck or upper back? or possibly could it happen often from stress or anxiety?

Face numbness: This is not coming from neck or upper back. This could be Trigeminal nerve or facial nerve. Also look out for any drooping that might suggest Bells Palsy

Focal facial numb: Sensory trigeminal neuropathy is likely a viral caused entity affecting only part of one side of face. It is not painful like a neuralgia, is self-limited and dissipates after a few weeks. Early on Bell's palsy may start with "weird" sensation but shortly it appears that the side of the face is not moving properly. Neither is due to stress, anxiety, or problems in neck and back.
