Worth examining: The odds of this being anything serious are slim, yet still, it's worth having it examined by a neurologist.

If acute, get to ER: If this is an acute/sudden phenomenon, go right to the er please. You may have an early anaphylactic reaction or neurologic issue that requires prompt evaluation and treatment!
