What Causes Scalp Numbness And Right Eye Issues?

Hi, I woke up this morning and when I got up and walked 5mtrs I was unable to focus. The week before I slept awkwardly and woke up with numb scalp. I have also had issue with my right eye upon waking (feeling slower to open). I have recently used eye drops which have improved the sensation. I am concerned that it may be a tumor.

Oncologist 's  Response
Hello,

Irritation of one of these nerves anywhere along its course can cause a shooting, zapping, electric, or tingling pain very similar to that of trigeminal neuralgia, only with symptoms on one side of the scalp rather than in the face. Sometimes the pain can also seem to shoot forward (radiate) toward one eye.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
