Hello,

Thanks for the query.

Well, there is no need to think negative. From your history, it is clear that you have weakness over the right side of your body including the face.

Now, let me discuss about this condition, there are many causes for this condition, like brain infarct, head trauma, hypertension, facial paresis. etc.

But your age suggests, that possibilities of any serious ailment is rare.

You will have to consult a neurologist soon, and get a MRI Brain done at an urgent basis, to exclude any pathology.

Your doctor will also conduct some physical tests on you to evaluate your sensory and motor nervous system and do a cranial nerve examination as well.

So, my advice is to take appointment with your neurologist, and that too on an urgent basis, because the neurological problems are usually progressive.

Also, if you are doing any sort of exercises except walking, please hold it for a few weeks and see the response.

Alter your diet, increase protein content, with plenty of fluids.

Hope this will help you, I will be available for your follow up queries if any.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
