What Causes Numbness On The Left Side Of The Face?

I have numbness on left side of face and fingers that comes and goes. No pain. This started when I returned home from Disney world. Could there be some nerve trauma from a couple of the wild rides? I did feel a bit beat up! Sometimes it comes on we I sense a bowel movement coming.

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to anxiety. TIA (transient ischemic attacks) ore seizures can not be excluded either.
I would like to know your age and past medical history. Do you suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes? What about the thyroid gland?

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some tests:
- a brain MRI
- an EEG
- thyroid hormone levels
- fasting glucose
-complete blood count
- blood electrolytes
- a resting ECG
- Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
