Numbness??? Do these symptoms ring a bell??

My mother says she feels numb sometimes. She first described it as dizziness, but now she says it's more like numbness. Like sometimes she will feel as if her nose and cheeks are numb... She is also starting to have headaches. They don't keep her from fonctionning well, but when they happen, they're the only thing she can think of or concentrate on.Numbness??? Do these symptoms ring a bell??
Take your Mom to a neurologist right away. We don't have enough information to diagnose this type of thing here. She needs an MRI to rule out a host of things from infarction to tumor. Classic migraines with aura are often associated with numbness, particularly localized to one side of the face. Best wishes.
She needs to talk to a doctor.
It could be a pinched nerve or something simple, or it could be something serious.
She needs to see a neurologist as soon as possible
