Hi all,
Apologies, I’ve opened a thread before but it is now closed, please feel free to merge (if possible).
I’ve posted before about widespread twitching and received some very helpful responses that a twitch means nothing without weakness etc. However I just wanted to ask a related question.
My twitches are still present, although less however I’ve had a few hotspots, the most recent being the muscle at the side of my left eye (it’s vertical, between the eye and temple). This has been constant for almost 2 months and is getting stronger, in the sense that it moves a larger portion of my eye, almost raising my cheek. I have recent developed a blocked ear and slight tinnitus also on the left side. These are the only symptoms I have but being on the same side, it’s got me slightly concerned.
I’ve had 2 clean clinicals and my neuro is aware of the twitching, however not the eye one, given this started after I last saw him. He’s never felt the need for any additional testing.
Not looking for medical advice obviously however wondered peoples thoughts on if I should push for testing or if this sounds like something of concern being all on the same side.
Thank you!
