Hi, the right side of my face and ear ( most of the time it s on the right) starts burning and turning beat red. My pulse beats hard and slightly fast and I feel tense. My blood pressure always seems normal. Its been doing it for a couple of years, but now its happening on both sides. Its getting worse and really starting to scare me. Im scared im going to have a stroke especially now because I am paralyzed.
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I would like to explain that your complaints are compatible with the trigeminal nerve irritation coupled with autonomic dysfunction. This may be associated with headache, like clustering, etc. You don't have to worry too much as these are primary cephalic, and almost treatable. I recommend you to consult a neurologist for a careful differential diagnosis, and a probable head MRI to identify better cranial nerves involvements. Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings!
