Brief Answer:
Can be because of multiple heart attacks

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Gat713
Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This is Dr. Dipti Singh here to answer your query.

Actually the medications which you are continuing can not cause any kind of numbness of tongue.
As there can be two causes of tongue numbness-
-First it can be possible that you might have gone any kind of tooth surgery which has caused damage to the nerve of tongue.
-Second it can be possible that because of multiple strokes there can be damage of nerve.
That is why it might be happening.
Better once you consult a good dentist and get a complete examination done of the tongue and get it confirmed.
Hope it will help you.
Thank you.
Regards
Dr. Dipti Singh
