Tongue Half of my face is numb...

About 3 weeks ago I had a very strange visual occurance...I became dizzy and my vision was distorted. Thankfully, I was at home at the time. I sat there trying to figure out what was happening, my head was moving very slowly and tilting to the right. I totally freaked out my husband...he didn't know what to do. After about 5 minutes is passed.

Three days later the right side of my face started to get numb & tingly...mainly around my lips, nose & cheek. After a few days it got worse and my gums, roof of my mouth, and throat also became numb. I don't have insurance so I went to a local clinic. The Dr. put me on a mid-dose blood pressure medication as the first step. It did not get better. My face is still numb. The Dr. is going to refer me to a neurologist.

Any ideas as to what this could be? I will accept any ideas and suggestions.

Thank you for listening.
