Why do portions of my face feel tingly or numb. its like a portion of my check will feel tingly on the left side or right side. but not my whole face. im deathly afraid of having a stroke?

Does it stay this way? What are you doing when it happens? How long does it last? These are important to know to help figure out why this is happening to you. If you are always doing the same thing when this happens, it could be due to putting pressure on a nerve, for example. If this continues to be a problem, then see your doctor for an evaluation. Good luck!
