Tongue numbness may be related to eating spicy and hot food, insufficient blood supply to the brain, and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. If it is related to eating, it usually recovers after a while, and there is no big problem. However, if you have a long-term numb feeling in your tongue, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, and never use medication blindly. Some people may have psychological factors that need to be adjusted. Signs of tongue numbness:
1. Eating spicy and hot food
Consuming too hot, hard, or dry food; or eating fried, spicy, or stimulating food can cause numbness in the tip of the tongue. This will gradually improve by stopping eating stimulating food.
2. Ischemic cerebrovascular disease
Tongue numbness may indicate the occurrence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Once this disease occurs, patients often experience numbness in the tip of the tongue. At the same time, patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease may also experience tongue swelling, tongue discoloration, and reduced tongue movement. After these symptoms appear, patients should pay close attention and seek medical attention promptly if abnormalities occur.
3. Insufficient blood supply to the brain
Insufficient blood supply to the brain is a common clinical disease, often occurring in the elderly, but also in young people. The occurrence of insufficient blood supply to the brain often leads to slow blood flow and increased viscosity, which can induce tongue numbness over time. At the same time, patients with insufficient blood supply to the brain often experience dizziness.
