Question: I've been having a strange facial reaction which may or may not be allergies.

For about two weeks, what started as general eye sensitivity has turned into frequent full facial spasms that happen sometimes up to 30-40 times per day. What normally happens is that I can feel an "attack" coming on about 10 second in advance, and then this build-up of pressure and heat in my face where my face starts rhythmically spasming, and my eyes cry lots and my nose runs. This will last for about 2 minutes and I just have to sit it out. It's very intense and my face feels almost numb. These attacks often come in waves, where I will have maybe 3 or 4 of them in 15 minutes and then none for hours. It does not seem to be related to whether I'm indoors or outdoors, and antihistamines/eye drops/nasal sprays have done nothing for me so I'm not sure if this is really an allergy. Any clues to what this might be? It has been quite debilitating for me because these attacks will happen when I am in public too, and I am embarrassed by the crying. As well, my eyes are extremely sensitive and I often have to wear sunglasses even when indoors. I asked my doctor over the phone and they really weren't sure, and said it may be allergies but seemed very strange.
