A member asked:

If facial muscle spasms on right side, from corner of mouth to ear , continue for a week then stop but muscles feel tight, no pain, is it a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Hemifacial spasm is what you describe. The nerve to the face is irritated. The muscles were damaged due to overuse and are now recovering. The cause must be determined. Could be virus or trauma or due to tumor or disease of the nerve. A thorough neurological evaluation would be appropriate.
