What Do You Suggest For Numbness,tingling And Loss Of Strength On My Left Side?

I am a 62 year old female, still active, For some time I have had numbness, tingling, and loss of strength on my left side. However, the past 5 or 6 days, the lips, mouth, and chin are joining the left arm and leg.

My concern is probably one you hear often...should I be worried, or should I make an appointment with my Internest?

Thanks!
