Mouth Numbness
The inside of my mouth has been feeling numb and has the texture of being burned by really hot food, but I don t have any pain. It has been like this for about 6 weeks. This is the first time I have ever had this condition. What could this be? I m male, 47, have high blood pressure (taking norvasc), had testicle cancer 8 yrs. ago (radiation treatment), have been drinking 5-10 beers a day, 4-6 days a week for about 27 yrs. Dave.

Hi,
You have to get your self examined by a dentist. Clinically only the problem could be identified. Stop drinking beer. Any other habits like smoking or tobacco chewing could be a causative factor.
