I have been observing this from last 2-3 months she is 38 years old school teacher. She is undergoing thyroid treatment at Cloumbia Asia from last few years. The neck movement is episodic. I have not observed any facial muscle twitching. She had a bsck pain problem for which she had taken the treatment.

can be due to excess thyroid hormone

Episodic head nod can be due to excess thyroid hormone, apart from other neurological causes. Have you recently checked T3, T4 and TSH levels?
