A member asked:

Why is the bottom left side of my lip numb? i woke up to it feeling like that & its been 2 hours since?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve compression: It is plausible that a nerve got compressed during sleep. If the numbness is not getting better with time and is not gone by the middle of the day, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
