Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness in hands and face along with short term memory loss . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis , nerve compression , disc problem , TMJ problem or cardiac problem . Hand numbness can also occur due to ulnar nerve dysfunction. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI and physical examination to condition the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with nerve supplement . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy and exercises . Doctor may also refer you top ENT specialist for ear problem , who may prescribe labyrinthine sedatives along with supplement like ginkgo biloba or to cardiologist for stroke like symptoms . For now i would suggest you to apply warm compresses to hand and external ear , do exercises like yoga and meditation .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
