Leg went numb middle of night

Jumped up and fell on the floor. Thought this was finally it. But my leg fell asleep. Now I feel tingling on my face and all over. Dear God, get me through this

2. Yes. This. Tingling of extremities and face and numbness can be signs of stroke.

6. XanaDUer2--your symptoms as you describe can be a very serious sign. I don't think you should

wait if all is as you described. At a minimum, please call your primary care physician--but I'd bet he/she will want you checked out without delay.

Please check back in and tell us you are going to urgent care or the ER. If you are on Medicaid, the ER shouldn't cost much...but your LIFE is priceless!!!

I frequently (more lately) have tingling and fingers, feet, and limbs "falling asleep".
I get some relief by drinking some water, decaf tea or other liquid.
I forget to take enough liquid on cooler days and dehydration comes along.

Good luck!!
