Facial twitching.?
I have a facial twitch that I wish I could get to the bottom of. It involves quickly moving the one side of my mouth and neck muscle. It bothers me that I do it and I don't know the reason for it.. Is it just a bad habit? sometimes i see my daughter who is 8 do it also.
Answer:
Although the history you give, makes the impression of this being heridtary, try this:
- cut down on your caffeine intake
- cut down / quit smoking/ nicotene
- try to get more sleep
All of the above should help 'calm your nerves' so to say and may relieve the intensity and/or frequency of your symptoms. Also if you're someone who stresses a lot, that could be contribusting too.
Easier said than done, but relaxation will be useful!
If these measures do not help then you may be looking at something called 'Myoclonus' which may prompt your doctor to run a few tests, though most people with Myoclonus do not have a 'disease' and need no treatment.
deal with it i guess.:[
it's not a bad habit, it's a muscle spasm. if your daughter is doing it too, then it could be hereditary. talk to your doc, I'm not sure if they can do anything about it but it's worth a try.
Are you doing it freely , subconsciously or does it do it completely on its own. This could be many things. From a Disease to a simple habit to a normal body function. Twitchs are normal in most cases.
Could be TOURETTES...go to the DR.
Tourette's syndrome causes twitching. I sure hope you don't have that. Check it out online and go see a doctor.
