<s>[INST] Last night I woke from my sleep with a Sharp Pinch and a burst sound on the left side of my head just above my ear. I could not sleep in fear of a bug bite . Today, my face feels warm and my ear feels wet, yet my left hand has a numbing sensation. Everything looks normal. It felt like I was stabbed with a needle could this just be a pinched nerve? At what point should I be concerned. I have Thyroid issues, along with scoliosis and spinal Bifida (very very mild) [/INST] Dear probably it is a periferic problem of the seventh cranial nerve, facial nerve.You have to take vitamins and self physiotherapy use gym to activate the muscle and if the problems persist consult your neurologist.Wishing you the best </s>
