Should I Be Worried About The Headache Followed By Numbness And Tingling In Hand And Lips?

I started to get a head acne, then about 15 minutes later All of a sudden my right hand went numb and after about two minutes it turned tingly. Then the right side of my upper and lower lip started to do the same. Both are gone now but I m wondering if its something I should look into.

Hi,

Numbness to the chin and lower lip, as in your case, is attributable to many causes including bone infection, bone tumor/cancer, trauma. Since you have a history of being operated for Ca Tonsil, it would be advisable, in my opinion, to get an OPG x-ray done for your jaw as a primary screening. Screen yourself for diabetes as well. Diabetes also causes peripheral neuropathy in certain patients causing lack of sensation in certain nerves.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
