The left side of my bottom lip is twitching

Hi MN,

Hope ok to post here for traffic. I’m worried.

Sometimes when I’m ridiculously tired, my eye twitches.

This week, I’ve been tired, stressed & juggling the summer hols & my bottom lip (only the left hand side) has been twitching in a similar way.

I have ADHD (medicated)

I am perimenopausal

I drink a lot of coffee (morning only)

I haven’t been exercising enough or drinking enough water/eating enough fruit & veg

Anyone experienced this (before I google the shit out if it)

Thank you 🫶

OP for me this happens when I’m tired + stressed + caffeinated (sorry).

like you, I was quite worried at first, but have learned over the years that it’s nothing to worry about apart from a bit of overstimulation of the nervous system.

I would try only drinking one cup of coffee in the morning if you really need to, then switching to decaf, and look into box breathing. These days, I’m less stressed and it rarely if ever happens a any more (coincidentally, I also ditched deadbeat exH) Hmm

Yes, I get the eye twitches when tired, and the lip too.
Completely normal. I sometimes get heart palpitations and I queried all three with my GP. Nothing to worry about.

Yes i have . Sometimes i wonder if linked to my low vitamin d. Or iron.
And others i think maybe because im stressed or have tension problems in my neck shoulders .

Happens to me when I’m tired too. I wouldn’t worry, get an early night x

AlloaintheMiddle · 23/08/2025 21:39

Yes! I have that too. Sometime other muscles, like eyelids.
Always goes away after some rest in my case.

I get the eye twitch and other random twitches regularly. I have ME/CFS. They're annoying but I don't really worry about them.

Oh my god THANKS you 5!

I’ve been freaking out.

Feel more relaxed already.

Thank you ⭐️✨
