Question 1

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: To stop a problem, generally you have to know what causes it. Multiple causes for head jerking occur, including nervous tics, huntington's disease, parkinsons, excessive caffeine, stimulant drug abuse, prescription drug side-effects.

Question 2

i am constantly twitching my head, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

You  might have: a tic or a tremor. Medical evaluation should lead to an accurate diagnosis - however, the cause is not always discernible. Take care.

Question 3

could you tell me why i always keep twitching my head?

Accepted Answer

Comments: Best to visualize your movements, but possibilities include essential tremor, hemifacial spasms, spasmodic torticollis, tardive dyskinesia, Tourette's syndrome, as a few examples.  A face to face visit with a neurologist should help.

Question 4

what is the causes of twitching in the head on top and side

Accepted Answer

Irritation perhaps: Some irritation to a muscle, nerve, or part of a nerve that goes to certain muscle fibers may cause those fibers to twitch. Such twitching is usually for a few hours or a day, and only once in a while. In those cases, doctors and patients usually don't spend time looking for a cause. But, if symptoms are frequent, or recurrent, a primary doctor, ENT doctor, and a neurologist can evaluate.

Question 5

what are twitching/spasms in my head that i feel but they arent painful?

Accepted Answer

: A reasoned answer would require a history/exam and possibly testing. The issue could range from nothing important to a mild seizure that could progress. Write down a narrative of all of your experience with this and other symptoms, include a timeline and take this with you to a doc visit.

Question 6

i've have had nerve twitching on the left side of my head for a few weeks now. what could be the cause? it happens randomly.

Accepted Answer

Muscle twitching: This sounds like an irritable, superficial nerve or muscle fibers of uncertain etiology. It commonly occurs in an eyelid. I doubt it is anything serious in view of the absence of other neurological symptoms. Try avoiding caffeine and see your physician if the symptoms persist or worsen.

Question 7

can sinusitis cause head twitching?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: Head twitching in my experience is related to nerve, stress, anxiety, electrolyte issues and less likely due to sinus infections.

Question 8

what exactly can be the causes of involuntary head twitching?

Accepted Answer

Dyskinesias: Involuntary movements are broken down into those caused by a tremor, tics, myoclonus, dystonias, chorea, athetosis, and hemiballismus.  Those hyperkinetic movement disorders that have a tendency to involve the head include tremors (titubation), tics, and dystonias.  The cause for the aforementioned are mostly genetic but at times can be related to metabolic disturbances or meds.  Well wishes.

Question 9

should i be worried about my  son's head jerking and twitching?

Accepted Answer

I would certainly: Want his pediatrician to see him for an evaluation, but your worrying about it won't help you or your son.

Question 10

i feel a nerve jumping and twitching in my head. what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Inside your head?: Not muscle fasiculations that are superficial. If inside the head - I don't know.
