I went through your query and understood your concerns.

I need some more details on your history.
Since how long you are suffering from this?
Any history of migraine or in your family?
is there any skin changes over face like rashes?
History of diabetes or hypertension?

common cause for your symptoms are neuropathy could be from pressure over nerve or inflammation of nerve itself.
If its sudden in onset and associated with any weakness in limbs with or with out history of hypertension , then it needs immediated evaluation to rule out problem in brain.
