What Causes Numbness On Side Of Head While Had Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

I have had my first cognitive behaviour therapy session last week for driving anxiety. Being the worrier I am, I am now worried about not being able to drive ever again. I have been getting lightheaded during driving which he says is a normal anxiety symptom. However, now I am experiencing numbness on the right side of my head which is staying with me all the day (not just during driving). What could this numbness be?
