See PCP or ENT for: diagnosis definitively. You may or may not have it, and they will test your facial muscles & check your eye muscles, hearing, neck tightness to (ability to rotate head left to right, up and down).Bring in your old driver's license to compare your photo and see if you have ptosis (droopy lid) too.When did this show up?Any exposure to cold/wind/stress? Bell's palsy resolves in >80% of cases fully.
