Hello,
Your symptoms might be the early onset of TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA Disease.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain.
You may initially experience short, mild attacks. But trigeminal neuralgia can progress and cause longer, more frequent bouts of searing pain.
It's advisable to go and visit a Neurologist who might ask you to go for MRI Brain for a confirmed diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saurabh Singh Rajan, Sports Medicine Specialist
