[|Human|] The tip of my tongue feels numb or the same sensation if I had drank something very hot. I have high blood pressure, what is the casue of the numbness? There is also an eco in my left ear particularly if the blood pressure is around 146/86. Should I be worried about this?
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The front part of the tongue is supplied by a nerve called the lingual nerve. This nerve actually branches off another nerve called the trigeminal nerve. The fact that you are experiencing altered sensation in this area may imply that there is an issue with the structure or function of the lingual nerve. There are different possible causes such as trauma, vitamin deficiency, diabetes, exposure to toxins, stroke, idiopathic (cause not known). You may need to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment. I hope this helps
