Question 2

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.

Muscle twitch: we call these fasiculations.  Involuntary movement or twitching of a muscle.  Do you have them anywhere else?  How long have you had this?  If just a day or two, watchful waiting ok.  If more than a week or other areas of body with similar twitches you need to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation.  Hope this helps.  Good luck
