[QUOTE="Bellebo, post: 2368727, member: 538569"] Thank you all for your replies it’s much appreciated. My mum is much the same this morning, although when she went to bed last night she had to force her right eye closed with her fingers and it would only stay closed if she laid on her right side. Which seems to be a classic Bell’s Palsy symptom and I read that if someone has a stroke they can still blink/shut the eye. I know googling isn’t a substitute for seeing a doctor though and I understand the importance of getting it checked out and if it is Bell’s Palsy it’s better to get treatment within 72 hours. I have tried encouraging my mum to ring 111, she’s really worried they will send out an ambulance as a precaution though and wants to avoid going into hospital because of the covid risk. She says she will ring the doctors on Monday morning of it stays the same [/QUOTE]
