What could cause tingles and slight numbness in the tip of the tongue and the left arm?

In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

You are dealing with two different things here... The nerves in the tongue and in the shoulder and arms are not connected.

I cannot think of anything that would cause specific numbness in the tip of the tongue, unless it was just after trauma to the tongue (such as a cut, or burn).

It depends on where in your arm the numbness is. If it's in the forearm it could be from nerve trauma in the elbow... or trauma to other nerves that run down the arm.

If the numbness is just "slight", as described, I would watch it, but not be overly concerned about it... There are a lot of things that happen to the body that occur for no apparent reason at all..!!
