My uncle had this strange condition where the one side of his face drooped and when he laughed the other side was exaggeratedly higher. His tongue was a dark red/purplish colour. He had two transischemic attacks 2 or 3 years ago and also 8 years ago. He twitches. Could anyone tell me what this might be?

I had Bell's Palsy and it cleared after a couple of months. I didn't have twitches or tongue discolouration, just paralysed the right hand side of my face. Get him professionally diagnosed

Bell's Palsy does describe the shakes, however the face dropping like that sounds as though he had a stroke!!
TIA's usually precede a stroke.
I'm not sure about the tongue, but please tell me he's been to the doctor...

if he has had transient ischemic attacks, then I suspect he could have also suffered a stroke. If he has not address this left facial paralysis with a doctor, then he should.
