Numbness
My mom is having numbness in her face and on one side of her body. It started a couple hours ago and has not gone away yet. She worked out last night and she thinks maybe she pinched a nerve but could it be more?
Ok. I will try to get her to go to the ER. She said most of it has gone away. I told her she needs to call her doctor and get an appointment. Thanks.

Hi.
This short term symptom could be related to reduced blood supply to the brain. And since it is one one side of the body, it is alarming. Please get an urgent ER check up.

Spiral is right...go to an ER. I hope it is not the case! If it isn't, perhaps it's a migraine? I've had them without even having the headache, where one side of my body and face go numb. hope this helps and I hope she's ok.
