Numbness with orgasm

Hey. I have been having a weird thing happen. Sometime when I orgasm, oral, I have been getting a numb face and lips, sometimes hands. The first time it happened it was quite scary. I have seen a lot of people online saying they have the same but I want to know what it is, if it's normal etc.

I'm not sure I understand. You are getting oral from your SO and then, when you orgasm, your face, your lips and sometimes your hands go numb? Have I stated it correctly? Could it be you are clenching muscles in those areas that causes squeezing of the nerves or blood cutoff during orgasm?

It's when I orgasm it starts. I don't think that's the reason.

You are most likely slightly hyperventilating

Oh my gosh, you are not crazy, I have had that happen too! Although I'm not really sure I quite orgasmed... BUT, I have gone numb in my head and hands for sure. One time I couldn't even move my hands for like 5 minutes. I don't know "what it is" persay, but yeah, I've had it happen too.

I would think that in the heat of the moment you are hyperventilating. Try to take slow deep breaths I know it is hard when your having a orgasm but you need to slow your breathing.
