Q: my head started hurting then my hand and face went numb

I am a 23 yr old female, and yesterday my head started to hurt really bad, i was sensitive to light. My right eye had blurred vision, then as i was driving home my right hand went numb along with my lower arm. As that started to fade away my right side of my face went numb. Since i was a little girl i have always got very bad headaches. Could this be related, what should i do?

Hi super23girl!

You state you've had bad headaches in the past, have you ever been diagnosed with Migraines?

I would call your doctor if this is a new symptom for you, just to be on the safe side.

See these links:

Please let your doctor know if the numbness is a new symptom - it is very important.

Good Luck!
