    Numbness in the tongue
    I've been experiencing numbness in the left side of my tongue for several weeks, which is causing me to bite my tongue. I'm a very fit 47yr old male and suffered a brain tumor 10yrs ago. Any advice?

    Yes, see a Physician. It would be foolish and dangerous to diagnose over the Internet.

    Yes, please seek medical attention. This could be benign, but could also indicate stroke or neurological problems.
