Twitching in face

[HazyMind]

Hi,

Ive been really scared the last few days because I keep getting alot of twitching above my right lip and under my right eye. I can actually see throbbing in theses areas, it's happening now and it is really freaking me out!

It happens all the time and will only stop for a minute or two before it starts again, I'm finding it very hard to accept this could be anxiety and can't help but think Parkinsons or brain tumour or disease. My head also hurts at the back on my right side.

Can anyone help me? Could this be anxiety related?

I dont want to look up theses symptoms online, Im sure I would just be paralysed by the fear of what it could be!

Hi Hazy,

I often get the twitching in my face. My left botton eyelide goes like crazy at times. Currently my chin and upper lip area are what is twitching. Mine twitch every few minutes or so. Usually stops when I put my mind to something else.

I know it makes you think it is something other than anxiety but I know that anxiety does cause this twitching. I had an MRI done of my head and all was clear but yet the twitching and dizzyness live on!

Take care,

Chris

Hi

When we are anxious muscles can tighten up, even muscles that are sittuated around our eyes and face.

Hi there

I would like to reassure you that twitching is caused by anxiety and you have nothing to worry about. I have had twitching all over my body for about a year now, I'm sure something would have happened to me by now if it was serious. I know a lot of people have twitching related to anxiety, so please try not to worry, although it's easy for me to say.

The worse twitches for me are when I get them in my chest and stomach, but I have an eye twitch at the moment in my right eye and one in my finger:weep:

Nothing good ever comes out of 'googling', lol so stay away.

Hope all the posts have reassured you, take care.

Thank-you all for your replies :hugs:

The twitching is still happening, I'm concerned as I've never had twitching in these places before and I've had anxiety for 10 years so i get afraid of any new symptoms.
I've had some twitching in my thumb before but that didn't last long.
I've also had twitching in my eye lid before but not under the eye like it is now.

I'm going to make an appointment at the docs to hopefully put my mind at rest but thank-you so much for your replies it has made me relax!!! :yesyes:
