What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Question: I have been experiencing a mild tingling sensation on the right corner of my mouth and lips, my right jaw and sometimes my right cheek. It seems to come about when I drink alcohol, particularly wine. Sometimes it lasts for several days before subsiding. What is causing this sensation?
Brief Answer:
Trigeminal nerve dysfunction to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic,
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
A sensation of the face is an attribute of the trigeminal nerve, so, in my opinion, dysfunction of this nerve (compression for example ) should be considered.
Vascular compression or conflict is one of the causes of this nerve dysfunction.
In cases of alcohol intake, there's a vasodilation of the vessels that may contribute to the neurovascular conflict.
I'd suggest getting a neurological examination first in order to understand your condition better.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
