HELP?!! Am I having a stroke?

I have had tingling in my chin for about a day now, happens about once every couple of hours, headache that doesn't hurt that bad, and sore eyes, able to play video games, walk, read , and watch T.V without severe pain. I just want to know if this is a stroke, or a migraine or something else.** headache started next day chin tingling still comes and goes once in a while and i am 13.
***For the record i do have a broken collarbone
Answer:
I did answer this earlier but you didn't mention the broken collarbone, remember I asked if you'd had a neck injury? You are probably dealing with some pinched nerves in the neck area. Again let your Dr. know about any new or worsening symptoms.
It might be connected to your clavical fracture, from being in the cast and therefore having limited movement. Let your mom know about this, and she can call the doctor and ask if you need to go in..
Two quick checks for stroke (which is virtually unheard of in someone your age): try sticking your tongue straight out. If it veers to the side, stroke. Also, try raising both arms over your head---if impossible, ditto...I have a feeling it has to do more with your break and the way your body is compensating for it in other areas. Good luck.
you already asked this question, so i already answered it.
it would be rare for a healthy 13 yr old to have a stoke...i think it's probably injured nerves or something from your broken collarbone...i'm not a doctor though...you should consult yours just to make sure. best of luck.
13 is pretty young for a stroke , although it can happen. do this, call 911 and tell them you'de like to get a BP chk as your concerned about some issues. it is possible that your broken collarbone could be touching or pinching a partof the CNS. thus producing the tingling sensation. but its best chk with a emt for starters,,,its free. they are at the firestations.ok?, GO!
