Does Stress Causes Twitching Of Nose And Lips?

Last week I had a twitching in the top bridge of my nose. it happened maybe 4 times last week. Thismorning I woke up withthe middle of my top lip twitching. I am a serious hypocondriac so I worry about everything. It is really ruining my quality of life. Could this be caused by stress?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have twitching of nose and lips. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like diabetes mellitus , nerve compression in the cervical vertebra , excess alcohol intake , partial seizures and low calcium levels , wisdom tooth or deficiency or vitamin B . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor will take history , order nerve conduction test along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe multivitamin supplement along with muscle relaxant . Doctor may refer you to neurologist in case of bell's palsy and other nerve problem or refer you to dentist for dental problem . Sometimes it can also occur due to sinusitis in that case consult ENT specialist . For now apply warm compresses on face .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
