Facial twitch/jerk

Sometimes when I'm speaking my face twitches/jerks. Or I get these weird ticks. It's only in my face though. I have no idea why this happens. Anyone?

    Its an overactive facial nerve that is nothing to worry about, it happens to a lot of people. But if you are worried you can go see a doctor to clarify it.

    Depends how often and how severe it is. People often experience a 'twitch' in the eyelid and you can even see it in the mirror sometimes. I also occasionally get a twitch just above my upper lip. It's usually just a minor muscle spasm and nothing to worry about.

    If it is happening a lot and in different places, then you should get it checked out.

    Don't worry about it. This happens to people during times of stress, anxiety or being tired. This kind of thing happens at exam time for me.

    You might want to get that checked out. It could be anything from Tourettes Syndrome to something more serious like MS or Parkinsons disease.

    Then again, it could be nothing. A trip to the doctor would be best.
