The Top 4 Things To Do Initially When Diagnosed With Bell's Palsy

2/9/2021

 
Just diagnosed with Bell's palsy? Here is the first thing you should know. The good thing? It is not a death sentence. No matter how bad you feel or it looks right now.

DID I JUST HAVE A STROKE?

Waking up one day with (most commonly) half your face
paralyzed and not responding to any of your command
can be a terrifying experience.
“Did I just have a stroke?”
is a common question that comes to the mind of people
that went through or are currently dealing with Bell's palsy.

Most people have never heard of Bell’s palsy and
consulting with their physician will rule in/ out a stroke and a Bell's palsy diagnosis. But generally, if only your face is involved and your arm and leg have maintained their full strength and range of motion, there is less chance that you are dealing with a stroke.
