Question
A friend has facial paralysis and suddenly fainted today. I am asking how to treat syncope caused by facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is usually caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, which rarely leads to syncope. If syncope symptoms occur, further examination is needed to check for cerebrovascular diseases, including blood pressure measurement, and to schedule a brain CT scan to determine the cause. Immediate treatment should be administered if there is a brain hemorrhage or other cerebrovascular disease. Additionally, blood sugar levels should be checked and blood pressure monitored dynamically.
