Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am female, have good health, fit, and 45 years old. For the past two days, I have had a small amount of tingling in the upper lip. No weakness, no face or body numbness, no headache. Please help me. I have severe myopia and wear glasses.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms are so localized that it is really exceptional for any neurological disorders like MS (multiple sclerosis), Guillan Barre or any brain tumor (other symptoms should be present and the beginning is a little slow and progressive).
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
If it is upper and lower lip, do I have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis (MS)?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) does not cause sensory problems. So we can totally exclude it. Multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause sensory problems in half of the face, half of the lower and upper lip, but not just in upper or lower or both lips. The same is for stroke or brain tumors. That is why I told you that it does not seem to be anything serious.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
