SO SCARED. Numb face and ear.

[Vivi]

I've been getting headaches all the time lately.

Since this morning, my left earlobe and the side of my face have gone numb. I've got tingling near the temple and jaw. It feels stiff when I smile or laugh.

I'm so scared. SO scared. I keep imagining that I have a brain tumour, or MS, or have had a mini-stroke. I imagine herniated discs in my neck. I can't stand it. :scared10:Has anyone ever experienced this?

Seems like you are tensing your jaw and putting pressure on the nerve that's causing the numbness in your face.
It's also causing your headaches.
I would see a dentist about TMJ : )
