My lips get all tingly and wierd also, and it freaks me out sometimes when i'm already anxious. My face gets like that as well. But I can usually pawn it off if i'm having a good day.

but im not sure if its from my braces.

if you are worried about it you should go to ER to be sure......but it doesn't sound like a stroke to me....but I am no doc.....my hubby had a stroke and it just sort of happens....if it was a little stroke then the effects would have already passed.....could be your braces along with eating too much salty stuff or alcohol? but really if you are worried I would see doc

It happens to me when Im Anxious. My face also tends to get numb.
Panic and Anxiety DO NOT cause strokes.
Stay as Calm as you can and think Positive.
