Hi,
Trigeminal neuralgia is a possible cause of your symptoms but to determine if this is the case, you would need to be reviewed by your doctor. There are medications that can help treat trigeminal neuralgia if it is present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
