Posted on Sat, 9 Jun 2012
Question: The nerves across my forehead are constantly fluttering. It started Dec 2010 and has continued ever since with one or two short periods when it has stopped. I am male 63 5'11" 14 stone in good health apart from lower back complaints. I am not on medication but take 75mg of aspirin a day plus other other natural remedies such as cod liver oil etc. What can be causing this fluttering ?

Hello,

Thanks for the query.

I assume that the nerves fluttering across your forehead refers to the nerves twitching and not the blood vessels engorgement on your temple ..please accept my apology if I am mistaken and provide a more detailed history if you feel the necessity
Now considering that this nerve twitching , the most likely causes for such a neuropathy would be age related changes, or nutritional vitamin b complex deficiency, or alcoholism or stress or idiopathic i.e. no specific cause.
To establish the cause one needs to consult a neurologist who will take a detailed history, examine your sensory
system and reflexes,, may conduct few investigation s like blood counts , blood sugar, vitamin b , c reactive protein etc.and determine the exact cause and start appropriate treatment accordingly.
Your medications are not likely to cause such a side effect t though I cannot comment on any natural remedies .
Your lower back pain seems unrelated since it must be longstanding whereas this symptom is of recent onset.
Kindly assure that you have a balanced diet or a multivitamin supplement daily, practice breathing exercises or just go for a walk daily, and try to avoid stress.
If the problem persists then you should seek neurologist opinion.
Hope I have answered your query.
I wil be available for any follow up queries.
Regards
