A member asked:

Felt a slight downward pulling and twitch sensation in right lower cheek and jawline area. lasted like 12-15 sec. no pain, slurring etc. any idea?

Muscle twitch: This could be a little muscle twitch that is not anything to worry about it sounds like. Some get these around eye, in lip or in other muscles due to stress!
