About three weeks ago I went through something very hard emotionally...when I was driving home I suddenly felt numb all over my face...especially my nose and lips and also in my fingers...i felt short of breath also. But it went away after a while...the next day when I was talking to a friend about the whole situation my fingers got numb again...it hasnt happened anymore...but im just curious as to why or what that could have been?

It's possible you were hyperventilating from the stress. Hyperventilation causes the body to lose too much CO2, which in turn can cause tingling around the lips and on the face, dizziness, muscle cramping, and a few other problems. You may have interpreted the tingling sensation as numbness.
