What Causes Twitching Of The Upper Lip?
My upper left lip has been twitching on and off all day for about 7 days now. I am healthy. No alcohol no smoking, I exercise and eat healthy. But I do not sleep well. It goes numb at times and when it twitches it goes down and back to normal continiously.

Hello,
Possible causes for lip twitching include ingesting too much caffeine or a potassium deficiency. I suggest to avoid caffeine for some days. I also suggest to take a magnesium and potassium supplement daily for a week.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
