RHS of face and eyelid going numb and droopy...

Am posting on this thread as I have been told it could be down to "migraines or anxiety". I was never medically diagnosed with migraine so I assume it has something to do with the anxiety disorder I have.

Has anyone else any experience of this?

It happens periodically but at no specific time of day and whenever I rush to look in the mirror, the only thing I notice is my right eyelid is very slightly lower than the left.

It actually feels like my whole RHS of my face has melted or the muscles have just given up. The feeling comes back, I do some breathing exercises to calm down and then it feels numb and slightly tingly for 5 mins then goes away.

I also have TMJ from clenching my teeth when I am sleeping/stressed so have a jaw that attempts to dislocate frequently. Not sure if this is linked.

Thanks to anyone who replies as I though you might have experienced this and if it leads to anything worse or if you were diagnosed with anything/given treatment for it...
