Involuntary forehead muscle movement
by lanacoco, Dec 17, 2007 02:24PM
Male 36. For the last week or so I've experienced a symptom where a muscle in the upper middle part of my forehead moves involuntarily. It has been coming and going but today the symptom has become more frequent and I'm getting these moves every few seconds.
It's rather frustrating and makes for a strange sight.
I'll be glad to read your input. Thanx.

I think you are having muscle twitching or fasciculation. I think you need to relax.
Muscles twitching are also called as fasciculation’s. Muscle twitching is the result of minor local muscle contractions or the uncontrollable twitching of a single muscle group served by a single motor nerve fiber or filament. Some minor muscle twitching is common and goes unnoticed, but some may be sign of underlying neurological disorder.
Benign twitches are normal and quite common, often triggered by stress or anxiety. Any irregularity in your daily diet can also cause similar symptoms. Any drug overdose especially caffeine. Exercise can also induce twitching.
Do you have this symptom in any other part of body? If yes, where are they?
Do you have muscle weakness?
Hope this helps.
Bye.
No other symptoms in any other part of my body or any muscle weakness. Just this noticeable muscle twich on the forehead.
What I did and seems to have helped, is that because I do suffer from semi-frequent inflammations in certain parts of the body such as the feet , and because I read a post on the internet that such symptoms can come from inflammations, I took two pills of Arcoxia so far, and since then...haven't twitched a muscle....
Not sure if this is because the antiflammatory drug worked.
I think it might be coincidence that twitching has got better. If the symptoms reappear, take anti-inflammatory medicine again and see, if the symptoms disappear, then you are sure of cause.
Alternatively, if you still feel that your symptoms are annoying then you should consult a neurologist to evaluate.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
