: YOUR BODY IS TALKING TO YOU! Listen &amp; take good notes. When does it start/stop? Where does it go? What makes it better/worse? How long does it last? Medication helps/worsens? If you think it is something you eat/drink/do stop it &amp; see. If better, go back again &amp; retest until u r convinced it is something u should stop. Then stop it. Discuss with your Drs. You all will figure it out.

Too many possibilities. Nerve involvement? Cardiac involvement?Muscular issue? Dental issues? This is why everyone should have a PCP and regular examinations, to create a baseline and a history. Obviously your problem is not self-healing. See your GP, or find a new one, and begin the diagnostic process.
