Questions about tongue numbness post stroke (35 year old with apraxia)

Hello all, I am new to the community. I had a stroke 2 months ago, with just apraxia as a long lasting effect. Then one month ago I had another bleed which manifested a seizure, same basic deficits again. This led to a craniotomy to remove a persistent clot, fingers crossed I am finished!

The question is, I occasionally (only 2-3 times) have had some tongue numbness and my tongue would point to the side during these episodes. Last night it lasted for 10 or so minutes, my speech was OK, and it went back to normal after the 10 minutes were over.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Should I be making emergency calls? Or should just message my neurologist on a non-emergency chat?

Thanks for your input!
