Numbness On The Face Upon Blowing The Nose. Why?

This has been happening periodically for the past few weeks. Whenever I blow my nose and 1 side remains stuffy, my face feels numb on that side (it's only been the right side). It goes from my top lip up to my eye. Sometimes it goes away as my nostril is "opening up". Today I blew my nose and I got that feeling again but this time I could breathe but it still felt numb. Help please
