Hi I have numbness to my r side of bottom lip, all of chin, under my r eye, r eyelid, r forehead and r side of my neck. I had 2 epsiodes of blurred vision in the last 5 weeks which resolved spontaneously - both preceeded menstruation. The numbness to my face started with my lip a couple of weeks ago and has now worsened to my neck. In the last week I've also had some moderate neck pain on my r side. My only pmhx is x1 episode of SVT approx 6 months ago. Thanks.
I can understand your concern. All the areas that you have described on the right side for numbness are the areas supplied by the branches of the right facial nerve. Thus, it seems that you are suffering from right facial nerve palsy or Bell's Palsy.
It seems that you are suffering from a very early stage of the disorder. In this disorder, patient usually have to wait for few weeks to few months for the nerve fibers that have been damaged to regenerate and being sensations to the area again. Physiotherapy, electrical stimulation and massaging the areas can help to regain the sensations faster.
Thus, I would advise you to visit an oral & maxilofacial surgeon or a neurologist sooner than later for the examination and confirmation of the diagnosis by investigations. Unfortunately, cause of this disorder is unknown in most cases.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.
Best, Dr. Viraj Shah
