Numbness/Tingling on Bridge of Nose/Face

[SpiritDreamer]

First a little background. I have Low-Iron Anemia, suffer from Migraines and sciatica. But I dont know if any of that is related to my current issue, which could be as simple as sinus troubles.

In February, I got sick with a severe headcold that just wouldnt go away. I suffered through it for 2 months, with on-going sinus problems mostly. Until it finally went away on its own in April.

During that time I started experiencing other strange symptoms. I was getting extremely dizzy and experienced that dizziness for several days straight at least once a month. At first, I wasnt sure what it was. Then I thought, maybe it was that my iron levels may have been extremely low. Id never experienced such a high level of dizziness in relation to my anemia before, but I figured Id better do a round of Replevia (high dose Iron supplement) again. So I did that in April-May. I started feeling better and was pretty sure my iron levels went up. So I figured that must be it.

Then in May I got sick again. I went to the doctor, and he said it was just a really bad head cold. But a week and 1/2 later, I was much, much worse and had to go back to the doctor. I saw a different doctor this time, and was diagnosed with an acute sinus infection. I was put on a second round of anti-biotics. And finally started feeling better about 2 weeks later.

Then about 3 weeks ago, I started having some sinus troubles again AND the bridge of my nose started experincing numbness. I thought it was because of the glasses I wear for when I work on the computer. (Im a web designer.) But even when Im at home, not on a computer, not wearing my glasses, I experience the numbness and tingling sensation, and now its starting to spread to other areas of my face - above my eyebrows, across my cheeks, down to the tip of my nose. It also effects my eyes sometimes. It feels a lot like what happens when I get my migraines, but this is happening without even a little headache and in the center of my face, instead of just on one side (like it usually does with my severe migraines.) Im totally confused and frustrated. This numbness is really starting to be a constant thing, and never really easies up.

Could it just have to do with my sinuses, or could there be a deeper neurological reason related to my migraines or something else?

Did you ever get a response on this? I've recently began to have tingling/numbness on the bridge of my nose and sometimes it seems to make my front teeth hurt. I have NOT had any dental work done for at least a few years, but do have several old metal fillings.

Thanks!

I have been suffering with numbness/tingling on the bridge of my nose for about a month.  I have been treated for sinusitis which was misdiagnosed now I am being treated for a fungal infection.  I had a CT SCAN of my sinuses tonight which showed nothing.  I am having intermittent pain that gets bad in my mouth, face, ear, and nose but only on my left side.  It is so frustrating.  Has anyone had this problem?

I also experienced tingling on the tip of my nose, around my eyes, on my forehead and around my lips. I also felt my nerves vibrating throughout my whole body. I was extremely worried. I found out that I was allergic to nickel and these are symptoms that a metal allergy can cause. I had dental work that had metal removed from my mouth, including my permanent lower retainer. All my tingling is gone. I have read how metals in your mouth or any metal implants in your body can affect you and it is scary. If you had dental work or any implants or wear braces or a retainer you should consider getting metal allergy test or read about how metals can affect your body.  All my symptoms began after my dental work.

Sounds to me like you have Trigeminal Neuralgia. Look it up and you will see what I am talking about. I have it. It can affect you in different ways. My right jaw hurts, and my teeth top and bottom, my nose and lips go numb and tingley. I had a MRI and my neurologist discovered it. Good luck!

I think this is due to stress.  I have weird muscle problems and tingling in my face... and "electricity" nerve movements.  It doesn't even make sense when I write it down but basically things are just not normal.  I think it may be nerve or neuropathy or something... not sure but I do know when I feel better I don't have it as bad.  I take MSM, 5HTP, 5grams of B12 and try to sleep well.  When this happens it is less.  It has improved over the months but it still gets me weird when it comes back.
