Other symptoms? : Excessive blinking and jaw clenching could be caused by nervous system irritability, as a result of excess sympathetic nervous system stimulation, excessive alkalanity, low magnesium, low calcium and other metabolic imbalances. You should avoid all stimulants and have your doctor check you out.
