A member asked:
When i yawned i had a muscle spasm in my neck then part of my face goes numb and my face feels tight not tingly. this has happened twice. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle cramps.: It could be muscle cramps. We can get cramps in that area, just as we can in our thighs, calves, shoulders, etc. You can try stretching your neck, jaw and chin muscles when this happens, and it may alleviate the cramping.
