What Causes Bell's Palsy?
10. High Cholesterol and Hypertension
Research shows that high cholesterol and hypertension may also be linked to Bell's palsy. In one study, 28 percent of people with Bell's palsy also had hypertension and 19 percent had high cholesterol, a larger percentage than in the general population. These preexisting conditions may affect the severity of Bell's palsy and how well the person recovers.
