To ask about twitchy lips

[Mumblepot26]

I have had a continuos twitch in my bottom lip for a few days now. Never had it before. My DH and dr can see it so I know I am not imagining things. I had my 3rd DD 12 weeks ago, I am a little stressed and quite tired and been drinking a lot of coffee. My dr has assured me it's most likely just anxiety, however I can't help worrying it is something more serious. I don't have any other symptoms. Please come and tell me your positive stories of bottom lip twitching resolving. I need some perspective. No stories of tumours etc please

Anyone?

I get twitches a lot.

It's usually just fatigue/caffeine. Bin the caffeine and it will probably just go.

I get them all over the place!

I've had a twitch in my eyelid for the past 6 months, and went to see the doctor about it last week.

Facial tics and twitches can be caused by lots of things, including:
stress
not enough sleep
lack of calcium

Nothing "more serious" was suggested to me, so I dont think you should worry too much. Take a vitamin D supplement if not already doing so, as that helps with absorption of calcium. Try to get some sleep, and cut down on the caffeine.

I get lots too, best was one side of top lip, I looked like I was doing a permanent Elvis impression!
Had it in my nose and eyebrow at one point also eyelid and chin

Overlay how long did the one in your top lip last?

A couple of weeks on and off I think, just completely random, it is annoying and I think it feels far worse that it looks

Thanks Ovaryhill, what worries me is mine is constant not on and off. Don't think I would worry as much if it was on and off.

Melaniecheeks and roomerspism thanks for your answers too, very helpful.

I don't get lip twitches but I get them in my eyelid and upper arm. I have no words of wisdom except that I've had them for years and seem to be devoid of any serious illnesses.

Drownedreindeer have you ever had a twitch last constantly for a few days?

Melaniecheeks, in the six months were there ever any periods where twitching lasted a long time?

Twitchy eye here...fatigue related .

One week and counting by the way...it happens quite frequently.

Cupid that's interesting and reassuring for me. Does anything in particular help?

I get twitchy eye from time to time, I take omega3 oil and it clears up within a week, usually 2 or 3 days. If I remember to take it regularly I don't get any twitches. Don't know if it is a coincidence but it always seems to work for me.

I get the eye twitch periodically (don't know the trigger) and I find alternating hot/cold compresses works sometimes - although not always. It's flippin irritating though

I've only ever had it for a few days at a time though.

I get near-continuous eye twitch for a few weeks when tired.

Twitchy eye is common when tired but it can be a symptom of an under active thyroid, too.

I have had various twitches over the years, gave up coffee and never had any since.

Sounds like it could be magnesium deficiency. Most of us are deficient as it's depleted in soil these days.
Best form is to buy in the spray oil and use topically.
Really good for aches and pains too.

Mumble - getting a bit more sleep and not running around so much. Dead easy with an 8 month old .
