Paralysis of the Face
This symptom is a slowly-developing one. Since one part of the body has gone numb, a part of the face is affected, too. Paralysis of the face occurs when the nerves that control the muscles in the face are damaged in the brain. The lower part of the facial nerve becomes damaged due to lack of oxygen. The mysterious thing about this symptom is that no matter how your face is affected in a stroke, your forehead remains untouched. Although, other things can cause your face to be paralyzed, like injuries, a brain tumor, etc. You need to consult your health care provider to know the cause of your facial paralysis. [6]
