What Causes Facial Numbness And Dizziness?

Good morning,

I would like to ask a doctor about a certain condition that I have, that happen from time to time.

Yesterday for example, I felt great all day.. but when I went to bed that night I had a sudden attack, which consisted of my face/ tongue going numb, my arms /legs were weightless , my head had this awful sensation that I felt was moving towards my eyes.. It feels like Im about to be really dizzy, but I'm not.

I don't understand why I am going through these awful feelings at times, It is very inconsistant and happens once or twice a week..? I have no idea what triggers it.

Is this some form of anxiety? Panic attack? or possibly another health issue I need looked after??

I have recently also done blood work this prior week, and everything including my magnesium, kidney, horomones came out perfect. The only thing I am low in is IRON, which I have a count of 22 (low) so I take FERAMAX supplements, also my Vitamin D is 77. (I havent started taking Vitamin D supplments yet..)

If anyone could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I am sick and tired of being sick.. and I cant get any straight answers from anyone here.. and finding a family doctor has been awful.

Thanks in advance.
