Could Numbness In Mouth Be Due To Improper Circulation Of Blood?
Hi there,
For years now, I've experienced numbness to the right side of my mouth which has gradually caused that side to appear like it's drooping. I also get purple coloured hands during cold weather which is the most prominent symptom of Ranauds Syndrome, so I'm wondering if the 2 are connected in some way? IE: Circulation issue leading to improper circulation to the nerves and muscles on that side of my mouth during fatigue, cold weather and stress? I really need help with this. It's causing me alot of mental distress and I'm really self-conscious about people noticing the droop on that side in public situations. If I was to see a specialist about this, what type of specialist would I see? Thanks in advance :)
