Nerve impingement: These symptoms most likely arise in your neck/cervical spine.  It can also arise from your brain from something like a stroke but this is less likely if the face is not involved.

If you develop any functional loss or weakness that would represent an emergency.

You : You can buy a soft collar at most pharmacies. You can also buy a self use, over-the-door, type of neck traction device with a water bag at most pharmacies.
