Had Bell's Palsy. Feel Dizzy. Going To Physical Therapy. Two Sessions Of Acupuncture. Normal?

I have had my first case of Bell's Palsy for 56 days now.. In the beginning I had terrible balance but as of the last two days I've been getting light headed and dizzy... Is this normal for the healing process? I've been going to physical therapy where they're doing electroshock therapy to the paralyze side and have endured two sessions of acupuncture.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The feeling of light headed and dizzy is not related to the healing process of the facial palsy. These symptoms can be due to cervical spondylosis, inner ear problem, electrolyte imbalance, improper diet, etc and need to be evaluated.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
