Hi, I was wondering how you are doing now? I was just diagnosed late last night in the ER with BP.

I looked in the mirror to notice that the right side of my face was not responding like the left was when I would smile, blink, yawn, etc. I went to the ER fearing a stroke although highly unlikely for my age (31). They told me it was BP and I was placed on steroids and anti-viral meds. I was wondering how you are now. Did you revover? Did you also try herbal remedies? Thanks for letting me know!
