Could Numbness And Tingling In The Head Be Due To Blockers?

I have numbness and tingling (like pins & needles) up the right side of my head. Could this be from blockers that were injected into my neck (for neck pain)? I use to get just pressure - but, now it s numbness and tingling. What could this be from? Thanking you

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having numbness and tingling of the head following injection of beta blockers.
My response to your question is as follows.

Tingling and numbness are not caused by beta blockers. These symptoms are seen in primary headaches like migraines.
Hence this requires evaluation by your doctor to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for any further questions and I will be happy to answer and assist you.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
