Yes, mention it: It is probably not serious but worth mentioning to your neurologist. Make sure you are staying well hydrated and take a multivitamin daily

Jaw winking: This is a recognized issue called jaw winking (Marcus Gunn phenomenon) that represents a simple short circuit in the nervous connections of the face. You can wait & mention it to your doc at a regular visit.
