What's wrong with my face?! (Serious Question)?!
Question: What's wrong with my face?! (Serious Question)?
I noticed on Sunday night that my left eye seems to close hard or faster than my right eye, and it felt really noticeable. On Monday I noticed that when I tried to drink something my mouth couldn't retain my drink properly and a little bit of dribble came out the right side. Also today, I noticed something about my nose. I'm able to move my nostrils, but the nostril on my right doesn't barely move as much when I did it in the mirror. I also tried to clench my face and the right side doesn't tighten up, it just feels like I've shut my eye and mouth, but my left is really clenched. I read on someone else's question that this could be Bells Palsy, but I thought I'd give my symptoms first. What is this?
Answers:
It's easy to say bell's palsy since it's a diagnose of experience. No objective test can be done to conclude bell's palsy. If other thing, including stroke ruled out, it may be bell's palsy. Anyway it's a mild condition. From I remembered, it shouldn't cause any pain. So you know what to do if you feel pain.
In clerkship
It could be Bells Palsy or just genetics
maybe you had a seizure, since one side of your face is droopy then the other
