| Not pain per se but it just feels weird. The best way to describe it is..a sensation. I had my bottom wisdom tooth removed, and the upper has shifted. Could this be an abscessed tooth? The sensation has radiated up to my left eye. |

Could be a bunch if things. When I called about the same issue, they wanted to see me ASAP. I think stroke is a concern. Mine was Lyme disease, but it took them a while to sort it out.
Bell's palsy is also possible. |

Lift up both arms, does one drag slightly? Look in the mirror and smile. Is your face symmetrical?
I'd call your doctor to be on the safe side, they might want you to get checked out to make sure it isn't a stroke or transient ischemic attack (which would be more likely than a full blown stroke) |

Is the worst concern stroke? I'm 33 and in fairly good health. This has also been going on for a few days. |

| Bell's palsy was my first thought. But it could also be tooth-related. Get it checked out. |

| It could be trigeminal neuralgia. I would see a doctor and explore whether neurologic referral would be appropriate. |

My sister was 31 when she had her first mini stroke and was in excellent health. |

| Could also be MS. |

Someone mentions stroke and MS and you need more than that? Good grief. |

| Could be tooth related. Have you had a root canal? There could be an infection but you can't feel it without the nerve. |

OP here. I've checked the symptoms and I don't think it's either of the 2. |

It's only a matter of time until a DCUM poster throws out MS! |

| Brain tumor? |
