I feel numbness in the left side of the face since yesterday,
could it be a sign of a stroke or influenza (flu) or Omnicon?

After I drink a small amount of red wine, I feel less numbness,

I already take vitamin B complex to protect nerve system

Should I seek emergency medical care right away?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

The entire left side is numb? What happens when you pinch the numb area, do you feel pain?

Only the top to middle on left side of face feels numb, when I pinch the numb area, I feel prickling and tingling sensation.
Do you have any suggestions?

There is a possibility it could be Bell's palsy, caused by a virus responsible for chicken pox. I would see a doctor to confirm.

I took biotech vaccine on 4 Mar, would the feeling of numb be the side effect?
Before feeling numb, I drink red wine 200 mL daily as normal (after 7 days of taking biotech vaccine )
Is Bell's palsy caused by some kind of stroke?

Should I seek emergency medical care right away?

Do you have any suggestions?

"During the phase III Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna trials, seven cases of facial paralysis or Bell's palsy were reported in the vaccine groups (7 of 35,654), and one case was seen in the placebo groups (1 of 35,611). A causal relationship was not established, but the FDA recommended that vaccine recipients be monitored."

Bell's palsy isn't caused by a stroke, it is caused by a virus.

If the numbness is significantly troubling you, I would see a doctor. It's not an emergency.

I would see doctor for the numbness.

I would take vitamin B complex to protect nerve system, would it be right approach?
I would drink red wine (less than 200 ml) to prevent blood clotting, would it be right approach?

Do you have any suggestions?

Doctor said that is not stroke at all, since numbness does not affect body part.
His comment is too general, I think numbness could be caused by blood clotting within brain on early stage, but there is no more information to know the root cause.
After one day, the numbness on face is gone.

Thank you very much for suggestions (^v^)

Hi oemBiology

Is that your left eye socket?
