Loss of muscle control in side of face

my neighbor is having trouble moving one side of his face-whats up?Loss of muscle control in side of face
This happend to my mom. She was diagnosed with bells-palsey.. but it turned out that the numb side of her face was actually Multiple sclerosis (MS).


Your neighbor should go to the ER now. He/She could be having a stroke, or it could be bells palsey or even MS. Get it checked now!Loss of muscle control in side of face
if he had a stroke anytime in his lifetime, the left side of the persons face has no way to control it. ask him if he had a stroke, maybe without even knowing, otherwise, this is SERIOUS! take him to the doctors!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most common would be Bell's Palsy (a cranial nerve paralysis--7th) other could be a stroke. In any case your neighbor needs to be seen by a doc--treatment needs to be started fairly quickly to avoid complications.
drive the neighbor to the ER to rule out stroke or another medical cause.
