Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of a problem in the
trigeminal nerve area, which starts in the brain stem and supplies the face.
It may be useful to do an
MRI scan of the brain, to identify the underlying reason. Mainly, we need to exclude any ischemic lesion (lack of blood flow to that area).
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
