I am a 24 year old female and am shocked to discover there are other people the same age with the same problem with numbness and tingling of the head. I too get anxious when I have symptoms of any sort and it took me a while to gather the nerve to even look up what might be the cause of the symptoms. I too was in a car accident when I was nineteen and suffered whip lash, but only recently started experiencing these symptoms. I am relieved to hear that what I am experiencing might be less severe then a brain hemorrhage or cancer. I really scared of going to the doctor. Please keep updating your posts about what the doctors say so I can also know what might be wrong with me.
How weird, I am also 24 and a hair stylist. I suffer from migraines, neck & shoulder pain from my job etc. For the first time today the back of my head went numb and very cold feeling, which to me was a bit strange. I have had a pretty medium headache all day today. I went home and went to bed and somewhat later my head started going numb and down my back in the middle around my spine with the cold feeling again. Prehaps my spine is out and pinching on some nerves??I have not been in a car accident before but have slipped and fallen straight onto my back hitting my head on wooden floor receiving whiplash then.
Finding a Neurologist and requesting a mri and a having your brain scanned will be the best thing you could do. Upon you getting that done, ask the doctor if they can look for Chiari 1 Malformation. More information on that you can find on: http://www.asap.org/index.php/disorders/chiari-malformation
You never want to assume or diagnose yourself.
Well folkes I am pushing 50 know and had this cold head for many years ,stayed away from dinning rooms that are air condintioned etc.
I wear a ball cap ever day and a bed cap every night to bed.
Been to a few Doctors.They believe I frozze my head to many times working up north. Not !
There is hope. It is mostly in the neck . Chiropractors helped some .
But what realy helped me is taking 2 Calcium pills 500mg each before bed time.
It took about 2 weeks to notice a diffence.
Must be because we have not been drinking enough milk ,more pop and beer etc.
Joints are working better ,maybe allowing more blood flow to the scalp now.
Still wear a cap in cool days,just don't need a hot shower or use of a hiar dryer in the morning.
WOULD LOVE TO KNOW BECAUSE I AM DEALING WITH THE SAME THING. I HAVE GRAVES DISEASE dONT KNOW IF THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSEING IT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT I FEEL HORRIBLE. I ALSO FEEL CONFUSED AND MY FACE GETS NUMB TO
See your doctor to determine the actual cause of this condition. Off hand, it could be a symptom of Heart disease, or it could be something as simple as a magnesium deficiency. In either case, it is a cause for concern and you should see your health care professional.
The neck has a lot of nerve endings and sometimes it's not the neck at all, but the spine. A disc could be out (nerve endings are in the spine) and thus, one's body compensates for the pain. Meaning if you have a disc out you will not walk or sit properly. Often people don't sleep correctly at night. Find a good pillow to sleep on is a hard to find. I have a semi-soft pillow, but went to a pharmacist and bought a roll with foam in it (approx. 2 feet in length) which I put inside the pillow case next to the pillow. My neck rests on that and I got rid of that feeling of numbness or neck pain. It's always wise to see your doctor about such things as some diseases can cause a symptom such as this.
You May Have Had A Concussion. Seek Medical Attention. DO NOT LET THIS LINGER!!!!!

Numbness to the head can be related to a couple of things, such as a cold, headache, over consumption of liquor and or sleeping in the wrong manner.

It can, the inflammation causes increase pressure on nerves, causing numbness in arm/fingertips
There are several things that could cause one sided numbness in the face & head. You should talk to you doctor about it if it doesn't resolve itself. It could be a very mild form of Bell's Palsy (which is usually temporary and goes away on its own), which itself can have many possible causes. Basically, if it doesn't go away, talk to your doctor!
You need to consult a doctor for this.
COLD
IT causes a unpleasant pain in the warm and it also causes some numbness in the arm, that's the reason people are shaking their arms. To remove the numbness.
steroids
It may cause toe numbness but sometimes it causes leg, arm, hand, and numbness too. If you feel numbness or weakness in the leg/s tell a doctor, these may be signs of a Stroke.
Numbness and tingling are one of the early symptoms of MS. Numbness and tingling are a sensory symptom due to the nerves that are responsible for transmitting sensations not functioning properly.
Most often this is caused by a pinched nerve.
Some probable causes of numbness in the face and jaw in otherwise healthy people can include trigeminal neuralgia, stroke, and a dislocated jaw. To rule out serious causes, see your doctor immediately.
