<s>[INST] I woke up with severe pain on the right side of my face during the night. I thought I had just slept wrong. It continued the next day, Aleve didn t help. Called ask a nurse at Avera in South Dakota and Es told to go to the ER. The side of my face was slightly swollen. The did a cat scan, said it looks like it may be bone on bone, but won t know until the person who reads the X-rays looks at it. Also did an EKG and put a heart monitor on me, as my dad had to have open heart surgery, one brother passed from a massive stroke, another brother had to have a stent put in and was told he has PAD. Just wondered what your thoughts were? Thank you [/INST] Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to trigeminal neuralgia. A brain CT scan or MRI would help examine your brain and nerves. These tests are much more accurate than a simple X-ray study. Anyway, your symptoms do not indicate any life-threatening disorder. So, just try not to worry too much about it! Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s>
