Facial numbness with migraines?

I have migraines on occasion due to a hormone problem,early perimenopause.My question is has anyone here had facial numbness with migraines?I read on the internet that it can happen,but it is scary.It usually is the left side along my cheekbone and around my left eye-kind of a novacaine like feeling that goes away after the headache stops.Any one else ever have this,serious replies only.Thanks

Febuary song-Thank you so much,I feel better hearing from another migraine sufferer that they have had this.GOD-bless!!!!

Yes. I get the "classic migraine" (with blurry vision beforehand, only one half of my head hurts, pulsing headache, nausea) and I get one every two/three weeks. I frequently (but not always) experience numbness around my face, almost exactly the same places you mentioned but often it will also include my entire jaw. I have been the doctor for the migraines, and she said it was fairly normal. Still, if you're concerned, have a doctor check it out. :)

Bless, hope your migraines go away soon.

pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.
