Right side of face numb

I have always suffered from anxiety. Recently my thyroid has been off which is causing severe anxiety and panic attacks. While I am waiting for my medicine change to start giving that problem...the past couple of days in the afternoon a small part of my right cheek by my nose and my right eye start to feel tingling which causes major anxiety. I have no facial droop or trouble speaking. Most days if I lay down and take a nap when I wake up it's mostly gone. It's so strange. I Google and it shows horrible things which makes my anxiety and symptoms worse. Does anyone have anything similar? I have 3 young kids so I am always a little bit stressed and anxious.

Why do you Google things instead of getting them checked by a proper doctor.

Thanks super helpful. I have a physical schedule with my gp as well as a cardiology and neurology appt but i have to wait 2 weeks for those appointments. I was just looking to see of anyone has gone thru a similar experience to put my mind at ease. Thanks so much for your help.

The best help is for you to stop using doctor Google because it will make you more anxious. If you can't wait for your gp then go up to the hospital and have it checked.
