Strange Symptom?

I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism after a TSH result of 7.5. Along with my many symptoms, I have a sort of numb feeling in the left side of my face from time to time. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone know if it could be related to Hypothyroidism? This is one symptom I have not seen listed anywhere. Thanks for any info.

Hi and welcome - that is not a symptom I've ever seen or read about. Did you ask your doctor about it? Cathy :)

Thanks Cathy, Yes, I did talk with my doctor, but he did not have the answer. I spent two days in the hospital while they ran every test in the book thinking I had a TIA and all of the test came back normal except for the TSH. They also found acute sinisitis which I knew I had. I have an appointment with an Endo but not until Jan. 12th. Just thought someone else might relate to this symptom. Thanks again, Jackie
