I'm feeling a kind of tingling sensation and sometimes even a numb feeling on the left side of my upper lip. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it common? What could be causing this?

I've been to the neurologist again for my neck pain and dizziness, and he found my blood pressure at 15090 with a pulse of 130. After asking some questions, he prescribed me Gaba300, Prolol 40, and Nexito Plus, advising me to take them for a month. Is it okay to use these medications for a second time? He mentioned everything is normal and to stay happy, but I'm not sure what to do next. Could you guide me on whether I should consult a different doctor or if there's anything else I should consider?
