A member asked:
Have eye twitch in left eye/jaw/cheek when smiling, raising left eye brow, & sometimes talking. does not happen on its own only with facial movement. also a cpap user went to gp and suggested facial nerve irritated due to headgear being too tight?

Not worrisome: The facial nerve is being stimulated and firing on certain occasions. It is probably irritated just in front of the center of the ear. Try using some heat in this area if the symptoms are annoying. It will disappear with time.
