The reason a persons lips go numb when playing Trumpet is usually because they pull back on the trumpet, stopping the blood circulation to the lips. If you find that this is the case, be conscious of this when you practice. You might find that initially your range is somewhat reduced but with regular practice, the muscles that make up your mouth will become stronger and you will be able to play higher than you could when you were pulling back on the trumpet.
