Brief Answer:
It may be transient ischemic attack in brain blood vessels.

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. These can be due to transient ischemic attack in the brain blood vessels and which are contracted temporarily leading to temporarily decreased blood supply leading to temporarily numbness. In this low dose aspirin and vasodilator are beneficial. It is advisable to consult the neurologist as it may be considered as warning sign of stroke.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
