What causes numbness in the face while having seizures?
Patient: Hi, my names amber my sister had just started having seizures about a week ago. now they are getting worse and last night she had a new symptom during her most recent seizure, she said her face had went numb and as well as her tounge, the doctors said they are stress seizures ... is this a symptom from stress seizures? Doctor: Hello Dr Faisal here,I have read and understood your query, I will suggest you to work up for root cause of these increasing symptoms. numbness of face and tongue can be an integral part of a seizure or it can be a manifestation of cause of seizure. (a brain stem lesion or hypercalcemia can lead to a numb face and tongue and a seizure).a stress occasionally can leads to start of seizures . i would like you to go for an MRI brain and rest of basic chemistry profile including electrolytes calcium and magnesium.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Take CareRegards.Dr. FAISAL BACHA, MEDICAL SPECIALIST (FCPS INTERNAL MEDICINE)
