A member asked:
Are there muscles located on the sides of head behind the ears. i been having crazy spasms there for a month, wakes me up in the mornings, both sides?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are muscles on the side of the head, fans out and back, known as temporalis. YOU can find good images on Google images if you search temporalis. You mentioned having spasms on head and chest muscles. Talk to your doctor to rule out any mineral deficiency such as calcium or magnesium.
