A member asked:

Twitches all of n random areas of the body throughout day, but mostly right side of my head temple/behind ear area sometimes last all day? concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I wouldn't worry: If there is no weakness associated with either the right side of your head (meaning muscles of the face) or behind the ear (not too much back there that could get weak) then, I wouldn't worry about much.
