Numb or Tingling Tongue: Top Reasons Why it Happens?
In this video, we explore the top reasons why you might experience a numb or tingling sensation in your tongue. The tongue plays a critical role in our everyday lives, but we often take its function for granted. However, when we experience discomfort, pain, or an inability to carry out basic functions such as eating or speaking, it becomes apparent just how important our tongues are. We discuss various health conditions, including oral allergy syndrome, low blood sugar, oral candidiasis, multiple sclerosis, primary Raynaud's phenomenon, hypocalcemia, stroke, migraines, and allergic reactions to medication, which can lead to numbness or tingling in the tongue. We also outline when these symptoms require more attention and the corresponding diagnosis that should be sought.
