What Causes Twitching Of The Carotid Artery?
My carotid artery on my left side feels like it's twitching, or something directly next to it. It even woken me up in my sleep last night. I currently suffer from MS and have for years, but are these two things possibly related? Is there anything to keep it from spasming like this?

it is due to MS , muscle twitching also a common symptom of MS, it is not related to carotid artery pathology . if u take proper treatment of MS , it will subside automatically .
