What Causes Numbness Along Eyebrow?
Question: For a few weeks I have this numb sensation along my eyebrow area. It's not actually numb, as I can feel touch and sensations. I can also move my eyebrows just fine. No trauma to the area. No pain. I have an anxious personality and some have said stress can cause this issue. As usual I am nervous it's something more serious.
Brief Answer:
Doubt this is an issue as your symptoms do not indicate it
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Whilst reading your query itself I could tell that you have some issues with either anxiety, depression or stress; much before I reached the part where you mentioned it yourself.
But for your satisfaction, if you wish to just rule it out completely you could go ahead with either an EMG (electromyography) or a CT scan of your head. In my opinion, if there were an issue you would be experiencing a whole lot of other symptoms and also would not be able to feel the touch at all. I would not like to mention the symptoms as they are not important sir.
In my opinion, counselling might help you sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
