This is bit strange but felt slight numbness on one side of my face yesterday. Im in 2nd trimester and it freaked me out thoda. is this a pregnancy thing? will mention to my doc but wanted to ask here also.
Please don't ignore any facial numbness at all, as it could be linked to high BP or nerve issues. I had to monitor my thyroid and health very closely, and my doctor always told me to report any such unusual symptoms immediately. Call your gynac right away.
According to medical research, face numbness during pregnancy can sometimes be caused by fluid retention pressing on facial nerves, or even Bell's Palsy, which is more common in pregnancy. My doctor strongly advised that any facial numbness must be examined by a healthcare provider immediately. Please call your doctor now.
When I was pregnant, my mother always told me that any sudden numbness or swelling needs an immediate doctor's look. Please don't wait for it to go away on its own. Have someone take you to your gynac right away to get checked.
Face numbness is not a typical symptom and could require proper neurological tests or BP checks, which can be expensive if not planned. Please don't worry about hospital costs right now, just visit your doctor immediately to get it checked. It's better to be safe.
Beta, facial numbness is not something you can cure with home remedies or ignore. It could be due to swelling pressing on a nerve, but you must visit your doctor immediately to get it checked. Please don't try any home massages for this.
