What Is The Reason For Having Tingling, Numbness, Metallic Taste In Mouth And Lightheadedness?

Yesterday, at about 7 pm I experienced tingling, numbness and a metallic taste in my mouth followed by lightheadedness and a bit of dizziness. Tonite, at about the same time, I experienced numb lips and an odd taste in my mouth.
I'm 49 yo female.
Any idea why this is happening? As I type, I'm experiencing numbness on the roof of my mouth toward my lips.
Thank you,
