Lip twitching for 3 weeks - Worried!!

[Worriedabouthealth]

Sometimes it does it when i talk, it's the upper lip on the left side and sometimes around the chin area or bottom lip on the same side.

Keep worrying it could be the start of a muscle wasting disease as I know twitching can be that or worried i might have a tumour in my mouth or face that could be pressing on nerves and causing the twitching.

It's quite persistent and it just won't go away!! My mouth feels deformed.

My left eye twitches when I'm really stressed. Sometimes I don't even realize how stressed I am until I realize that my eye has been twitching for a couple of weeks. Are you doing OK? If you're really worried about things, go to your GP and talk to them.

I have had twitching mouth and eye over the years with anxiety

I appreciate the replies, I have had this twitching for 3 weeks and for the last week I have had bad pain on the left side of my head, cheek and cheekbone.

My twitching can occur when I am not doing anything or sometimes when I smile or talk or eat.

I'm worried it's a tumour pressing near my mouth that is causing it or maybe even the start of a muscle wasting disease :-(

.... or it could be just anxiety.

Why not mention it to your doc?

I still have this i dont think its normal to have it for so long its odd cos i have pain on that side of my face too but then again the twitching started before i got the pain.

Will definitely mention this to the doctor although they will probably say nothing about it.

Funny you should mention this. I've had a twitchy eye on and off for 3 weeks now!

Rather have a twitchy eye and a twitchy lip hehehe.

I read some where twitching can me your low in something, might be vitamin b12 as they help your nerves.

Do you have any issues with wisdom teeth, or tmj?
If your jaw mucles are tense it can make your face a bit twitchy
