What Is The Remedy For Migraine With Numbness In My Face And Head?

I have had a migraine for over a week now. The pain has eased but I have a numbness on the right side of my face and head. Just wondering when that should leave. I have been investigated for migraines and had the relevant scans but this time feels different with regard to the length of time I am numb.

hello and welcome to HCM!

From my clinical expeirnece can say that many times migraine may be associated with neurological symptoms and that they may linger for more duration after the headache itself.

I would advice you to talk to a doctor, and get a Scan done if the numbness persists for more than few days. however, as you have past history of migraines, I am hopeful that it is noting to worry about.

But now you need to pervent the attacks, or abort the attack before it becomes full, as the duration of neurological symptoms is increasing.

Hope the reply is useful
