Have Heavy Feeling In Left Eyelid, Numb Cheekbone, High BP, Raised GGT Levels.
Hi I have had a heavy feeling in left eyelid and numb cheekbone for couple weeks Had a near fatal overdose on spirits and codeine 4 years ago but have been fine since then. I have slightly high blood pressure when I go to doctors but a 24 hr test showed normal. Have had raised GGT levels in the past but all levels except blood pressure returned to normal.

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You are having High blood pressure when go to doctors this is called white collar Hypertension.
If your 24 hour ambulatory monitor showed normal pressure you can take up healthy life style and monitor your blood pressure periodically.
Take less salt
Your heaviness in eye lid could be due to local cause like infection to eye lash.
You can consult a Ophthalmologist.
Your GGT enzyme rise might be due to alcohol injury to liver if you are not taking alcohol now and your enzyme is also normal then you need not to worry at all.
Your blood pressure can be controlled with lifestyle modifications like avoid smoking,maintain normal weight, consume less salt.
If still Blood pressure is high simple treatment with drug .
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.

You should get a ct scan of the brain as the facial nerve looks affected.
There can be many causes but in your case as everything is normal now except the blood pressure I feel a high blood pressure could have led to a small infarct and causing this problem
