Just got back from doctors and a quick update. They think just one of those unexplained viruses in other words they haven't got a clue. Just if it doesn't clear up or gets worse to go back. At least I now know it's nothing serious.

Thank you @Brunneria if it is bells palsy it's only mild from what I have read on the Internet and I can still close my eyes. xxx
