They may include muscle twitching, weakness, or total loss of the ability to move one or rarely both sides of the face. Other symptoms include drooping of the eyelid, a change in taste, pain around the ear, and increased sensitivity to sound. Typically symptoms come on over 48 hours.

- Vertigo is the sense of the world spinning, rotating, or rocking that is experienced even when a person is holding perfectly still.
