Why would the left side of my husband's face occasionally droop when he is stressed or not feeling good?

Question:

He had an MRI and CAT Scan after the first episode, and it showed nothing wrong or suspicious. We thought it may have been a mild stroke. It lasted about 4 or 5 days, each day looking better. The "droop" is not severe, but I notice it immediately. It has happened 3 or 4 times in the past 2 years, usually lasting only 1 day. Anyone have any suggestions? I am very worried that this may be a preview to something more serious in the future.

Answers:
Have him checked for TIA's which are mini strokes my mom has them and the effect is very temoporary. but it will eventually lead to a big one. it doesent have to come from a blockage in the artieries in the neck

GET A 2ond OPINION----ASK TO HAVE HIM CHECK FOR MINI STROKES-------BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY

There is also a condition that is called Bells' palsy. I do not remember if it comes and goes. My father-in-law had it some time ago. It lasted for about six months to a year and has never returned. Here is a link to different types of palsy that can effect the face:

If it doesn't just go away, I hope that you can
find what it is and get some treatment for it.

If it does get bad, keep acupuncture in mind. I think it is very useful for such problems.
