Hi,
It could be due to nerve irritation of caffeine allergy or Bell's palsy or neuralgia or neuropathy or rarely initial stroke.
This all symptoms are called as paresthesia.
You should undergo routine blood with ESR,electrolytes electromyogram EMG,nerve condution tests or MRI.
You must consult neurophysician for detailed medical history and thoroughly neurological examination.
Treatment is mainly depend upon underlying diagnosis.
Thanks.
