Facial twitches

I feel numbness and tingling in my facial nerve. Sometimes numbness in my hands ,legs and other body parts. I get little but noticeable, involuntary facial expressions which is like smiling and angry. I am very tensed and had to leave my job as my colleagues were abusing and making fun of me. I think my life is ruined. I tried exercises and facial exercises which exaggerated it even further.Can u tell me that is this problem curable. And which type of doctor shall I consult. And can you also tell me what role magnesium plays in this. I consulted a physician who did not took my problem seriously and recommended me etopram and other medicines which didnt cure me.  A proper reply would be highly appreciable.

Headaches, involuntary face movements...

I had a rather painful headache and my neck and all the way down my spine hurt and I figured it was just a Migrane or something. Then a few days ago when I was in class talking to my friends as I always do the muscles in my face started moving funny. Mid sentence I had difficulty speaking and had never before felt such a feeling. I cannot say it was necessarily painful but it was definitely abnormal. Following this strange event I had tremors. My hands and one of my legs quivered uncontrollably and holding my pencil still was more difficult then it should be. Lately i feel like my left arm and leg are slightly numb and i had a tightness in my left cheek but I'm not sure if I should worry or if I'm just imagining it since someone told me it could have been a "mini stroke." I'm very young too. Should I see a doctor or am I overreacting and need to forget about it? (Also, my vision was sorta... different today)

Problems due to carrying school bags

Carrying heavy school bag for 7 years caused many problems to my health including irritation and pain to spine, stress, fatigue, short attention spam, depression, chronic nerve pain, burnout, anxiety. Will exercise and yoga help me as I'm already doing these ? Should I go to the neurologist because I'm under psychiatric treatment but her treatment is not much helpful as she had only prescribed SSRI antidepressant and valproate anticonvulsant.

Funny head sensations

I get these funny feelings in my head that are hard to explain. When i about to fall asleep or when i sitting down i get like a funny head wave. It like when someone gets butterflies in their stomach, but in my head and i jerk and i sometimes get dizzy. I on antidepressant meds, so not sure if it side effects off that or binge drinking withdrawal. I also was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid
