I don't seem to recall stress causing a weakening of facial muscles and a mouth being pulled upwards.  |
I know....it scared my kids to death. They thought I was having a stroke! I could feel it happening before it actually "set in". We were watching something funny on TV and I can remember feeling my face not work right when I'd smile. The left side would be okay and the right side felt strange. By the end of that night I couldn't move the right side of my face. I even had to put eye drops in my right eye to keep it from drying out! I still worked through this episode...although it was hard. My co-workers teased me telling me I was winking at them!
It was all in good fun - they knew what was going on.
