My face has been twitching A LOT lately. Like in spurts. I will be doing something and it feels like my face is being pulled by strings for a few seconds.


Should I worry? Or is this a normal thing to have happen?

[averkif]

sounds like typical muscle spasms. unless they are painful I wouldnt worry

[id2008]

not painful sometimes they make one side of my mouth frown for a few seconds, but then it goes back to normal.


My forehead and eyes are twitching right now.

[Dayreive]

are you lacking sleep or stressing more than normal. My eyes do that too sometimes, its so weird

[anderriter]

I'd probably lay off the wizz for a bit if I was you.

[vansVoish]

Sounds like it is most likely stress related.

I've had my eye area twitch. Drives ya nuts!

Try to deep breath and repeat a positive thought to yourself when it happens.

Something like.... the toast in the toaster isn't really burning and that smell must be a mistake.... No. That's too long. Try: when the weather permits I'll go fishing. No. That's not quite right. I know: That guy has a nice ass. That guy has a nice ass. Just say it over and over and over again. Try not to laugh though. Oh wait! Do laugh. Laughing relieves stress.

I have that randomly happen to me too. I just think it's muscle spasms as well and nothing to be worried about.

Electrolyte imbalance, eat a banana for the potassium.
Try not to stress so much.

This is what they call Facial tics. There is really no definitive cause but as most have said, it's sometimes associated with stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, neurological issues or Cardiovascular issues esp if one has high blood pressure where it decreases circulation to the facial muscles. Electrolyte imbalance can also be a cause and it's due to lack of Magnesium over any other electrolytes. Potassium is needed for muscles but this electrolyte is more highly associated with heart muscles per se.

Rest and increasing circulation to the area can be done to alleviate your symptoms. You can try warm compress and with your fingertips massage lightly your facial muscles esp where it twitches a lot.

Read also on the following and monitor if your symptoms gets worst. If it does, seek medical help right away.
Hope the info helps and hoping you'll feel better soon

You're doomed!

I am hoping my information didn't make her feel like she's doomed as she's NOT- she just has to watch her symptoms if it progresses, that's all

[flnastyax]

Thanks yall!

[Candykiss]

Apprently some of this was caused by my sinus pressure! And I got some sleep - not a lot, but some!

So thanks! And I took Magnesium and some of the other vitamins yall recommended in this powder thing I got from a health store. Pill vitamins make me throw up!
