What Causes Twitching Of Lower Lips?
Question: My brother has a slight twitch (or quivering) on his lower lip. This just started 2 days ago. It quivers approx. every 3 hours or so. It does not hurt but is very annoying. What can he do to stop it?
Brief Answer:
Likely to be myokimia
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern for your brother.
If there are no symptoms other than twitching, it is likely to be myokimia. This is a benign condition which may last variable time but not to be worried about.
If there are additional symptoms or the twitching is progressing to involve other areas, he should see a neurologist.
Take care
