Brief Answer:
Further details needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

I have gone through your query but would need further details to be able to answer your query. Please let me know
* how long you have been having the complaints.
* Also mention if you have caught cold.
* Any other associated symptoms.
* Whether you have high blood pressure. I would still insist you to get your blood pressure measured and to let me know.

I would await your response. Based on it I will guide you further. Try taking steam inhalation and see if it provides relief. As such, the problem seems to be originating from the brain as the nerves originate from there. The focus seems to be located around the 7th and 8th cranial nerve. A proper clinical evaluation would be needed and it would be a good idea to visit a neurologist.
