Burning On The Face And In The Mouth, Blurred Vision. Sharp Stabbing Pain In The Eye. Shingles?

I often have burning on the left side of my face. My eye burns. the inside of my mouth sometime feels funny and my vision goes blurry for a half minutes or so. This burning will come on one day and not reappear for another 5 days. The burning may last a few minutes. I also sometime have a sharp stabbing pain in the left eye. Can this be shingles? my email is YYYY@YYYY sorry to bother you. can afford the price

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I think your symptoms could be due to Trigeminal Neuralgia. Since you have not mentioned your age and other systemic diseases you are suffering from, I think you must visit a neurologist to confirm the same.

You might need to take the basic blood investigations and an MRI/MRA to find the exact cause for this and treat accordingly.

Get an appointment and consult before it worsens.
Take care.
