Left earlobe numb after doing side crow headstands. Help?

[Anonymous]

I've been doing the kind of headstand where you balance your body on one side like in the picture below. I was doing it for around 30 min before I noticed my earlobe on the side I balanced on go numb. It's been an hour and it's still numb. Did I injure a nerve? Will this go away on its own? Should I go to the doctor or hospital?

most likely you just cut off blood flow to the area. you may have damage a nerve but if that's the case or it's lack of blood flow you should regain feeling in your ear soon. I'd wait a few days. if it's nerve damage you may slowly regain the normal sensation

Monitor it, if it isn't better in the morning or starts to throb with no improvement then go to the ER.
