For all of you that are complaining about numbness in your face. I had numbness in my face at the age of 28 after a neck injury. After my neurologist ran ultrasound tests of my neck, he said I was having transiet ischemic attacks which is something that old people get. The reason for my attacks is because of scar tissue in my neck pressing on a main artery. Don’t let any doctor tell you there is nothing wrong because you may be at risk for having a stroke. Most doctors will not check for these attacks if you are young.
