According to the source, the woman was initially unaware of the possible consequences of shingles. It was only when the symptoms worsened that she became aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Facial paralysis is a rare but serious complication of the shingles virus. The virus can also affect hearing and nerves, leading to tinnitus and headaches.

It is important to seek medical help immediately if you experience suspicious symptoms. Early treatment can reduce the severity of complications.
