Hi bjb,
ITs very important for you to go to the ER and geta cat scan of your head to make sure that you not have strokes or emboli going to your brain.
These are alarm symptoms not to be taken lightly.

is it normally for the tongue to get numb and face ( from nose on both side to feel pulled downward )

Answer

Sounds like facial droop and the numbness is consistent with a possible stroke. I really think you should get a CT.
These symptoms are not normal.
