    Can be nerve related and can be related to tension from the shoulders and neck, look at massage and if your really concerned see your gp

    Hey there . Consider - any recent “insect “ bites if you do recall perhaps a tick bite. Or maybe you don’t even recall it . Look into if applicable to you area /location Lyme disease. The sharp chest pain and also face numbness are symptoms of such.

    Kind regards

    Hello, how is your face? Has your mouth and eyelid dropped/drooped? If donut could be bells palsy and you need to see Dr immediately, hot to accident and emergency. Good luck

    Ps if you've got a rash or cold sores it could be Ramsey Hunt

    Treatment for both should be Prednisolone and anti viral.

    I currently have facial palsy
