What Causes Spasms In The Facial Muscles?

Yesterday I went to the ER with continuous muscle spasms and drooped face. all tests were done and medication with given intraveniously and I left 12 hours later with the same continuous facial muscle spasm . they start at the eye and go down thru my check to my lips. Left side only. They told me to wait till Monday and go see a neurologists. These symptoms started weeks ago and started get worse and now they are continusous facial spasms non stop for 4 days. Should I go to another hospital or should I wait till Monday.
