[|Human|] I had severe whiplash from an accident in January!! At times, different areas of my head go numb, and the other day my whole head and face went numb for about 5 minutes, could this be to pressure on a nerve in my neck? My facial features and speech are fine and so is my blood pressure
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough cranial nerve examination and Neuromuscular assessment of the cervical spine is advised along with MRI of cervical region. As the symptoms you are facing can be due to the whiplash injury as during this injury there is a small compression on the spinal nerve roots and also the cranial nerve gets irritated. Getting a thorough assessment for the cranial nerves and the cervical spine will help understand better. I also recommend undergoing physical therapy for the cervical spine to strengthen the muscles of the neck region and stabilize the spine. As this will help balance the motor and sensory functions.
