Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms can either be due to nerve related problems that supplies the face or can be due to condition like Transient Ischemic Attack..

So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

A clinical examination and if needed MRI SCAN can be done for confirmation..

You should take immediate steps and do not delay..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
