ok i couldnt find another place to post this but i figured id post here because this is where i am most active. but anyways...

this hasn't happened in a while but it has happened a total of about 5 times. it was really bad on 2 occasions where i was drinking fairly heavily and i was sitting in a car. my lips became almost paralyzed to where i couldn't talk right, my arms were tingling and my wrists locked up. that happened twice but on a few other occasions i noticed slight numbness/tingling in the same areas and slightly "stiff" lips. also i have been sober and sitting down in a car and i noticed tingling in my neck, hands, and lips. its pretty much only happened while sitting in a car that i can remember, and the most severe cases involved alcohol.

does anyone know why this happens or what is causing it? my only logical conclusion is maybe i have a nerve that gets pinched while im sitting down? but alcohol definitely amplifies this to the point where i couldn't move my lips good and my wrists were locked tight.

edit: oh and on a side note i did notice my "stiff" lips once while presenting a powerpoint in my speaking class. which leads me to think it has something to do with stress/nerves. i read this somewhere before as well.

any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated. thank you
 
yeah i figured it would be moved. and idk if it will be related to that thread. but thanks
