What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness In Left Arm And Mouth?

Was leaning on my elbow, reading a magazine, and my left arm started going tingly and numb.Thought it was the ulnar nerve acting up in my left elbow, but it came on very fast.Then the feeling went down my side and left leg, then back up to my head, to where I could feel tingling on the side of my face, also had numbness or tingling feeling in my mouth and tonge which felt very odd. Is this some kind of pinched nerve in my elbow or neck,..... or stroke symptoms.I know I have an ulnar nerve issue in my left elbow, which has caused tingling and numbness in two of my fingers and the side of my hand,..... but never felt anything like this before, this went up and down my entire left side, it would fade away, then come back maybe 10 minutes later, or just my tonge would get tingly and numb for a minute or two and then go away.

Hello,

Tingling and numbness are likely to be due to compression or irritation of the nerves. I suggest you to consult your neurologist for clinical assessment and nerve condition studies to determine the cause of symptoms and thus management.

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

Take care
