Yes, very much so. Bell's palsy is caused by the herpes virus (same one that causes chicken pox and shingles in adults) and this virus causes various ailments (including BP) during an immuno-compromised condition - stress and anxiety can compromise your immune system, which is why they are dangerous health conditions.
