What Causes Numbness In My Face When I Recline For A While?

I am 71 yrs old and in good health. the last few days I have worked out of doors in 10 degree temps. for most of the day. When I come in and sit in my recliner for a time and then get up my face feels flushed and my lips become for a short period of time. both the upper and lower lips. I do not feel bad or dizzy. this feeling goes away in a couple of minutes. it doesn t matter if I go outside and work or sit back down the numbness doesn t return until I sit for a period of time and then get up, then it may or may not happen again. thank you for any information you may give.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that because of the age such symptoms of dizzy, numbness, are sometime common and this is called geriatric problem but no need to worry about this it would come around, no need to take any medicine for this, have a nice day.
