Yes. My headaches were due to bartonella (cats-also anxiety and depression) and tongue numbness was neuropathy due to infection from epstein barr virus.

I have experienced it and now numbness seems to have spread to left side of face. I am waiting for results of brain mri to see what is causing it. Dr said she suspects ms could be the cause but need test results. Hope you get answers soon as it can get scary to feel.

Yes, I have this with migraines. Once the migraine resolves, so is the tongue numbness.
