I ve been experiencing numbness in my tongue, and it seems that when I move my head sometimes I feel an almost mildly electric shock and my lips go numb. I ve also been experiencing uncontrollable urges to stretch, especially my legs, at night. The need to to full body stretch woke me several times last night.
The symptoms you mention in query are probably due to nerve dysfunction . Sometimes nerves like glossopharyngeal nerve get injured or pinched during dental procedure and due to any other reason will cause such symptoms . But there can be other reasons also like canker sore , dry mouth (xerostomia) , side effects of any medicine or diabetic neuropathy . I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper examination and to rule out above conditions . Doctor may prescribe medicine which has anti inflammatory effect on nerves and supplement like neurobion forte .
Hope your concern has been resolved. get well soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
