Dear Friend,

Your Description suggest that you have the initial episodes of hyper-sensitive facial nerve. This can be a precursor of hemi-facial spams. You are required to take diets rich in multivitamins especially that contains Vit B-12. Consult a neurologist if the condition persists for longer duration.
