Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. They are suggestive of hemifacial spasm.
It would benefit from medications such as trihexiphenidyl (pacitane) tablets.
Some people who do not improve with pacitane, require botox injections.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

This condition involves twitching of muscles on one side of face, such as near nose, cheeks, lips, etc. This occurs while awake and disappears during sleep.
It can be diagnosed on clinical examination by a neurologist and no tests are generally needed.
If there is a need, the neurologist may ask for brain scan.
