Experiencing A Blink That Turned Into A Facial Paralysis When Trying To Talk
My friend has developed a severe blink that has now has turned into a facial parralasis when he try s to talk, he has had a very traumatic time over the last few years and I thought it may be psychological but I fear it may be something worse. The blink can last 5 to 10 seconds before he talks.
I have noted your friend's symptoms. Based on the description, he seems to be suffering from hemifacial spasm. If you can upload a short video f his face at rest and while he speaks can help confirm the diagnosis.
Botox injection treatment can help in hemifacial spasm.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
