Suggest Treatment For Muscle Twitching On The Left Side Of My Ear
THis afternoon I started experiencing a muscle twitching on the left side of my hear about one inch from my ear. The twitching last for 5 to 10 seconds and disappears. This happens about twice a year and lasts only a few hours each time. Hx -- I am a 66 year old male. I am on blood pressure and a statin meds. I also take an asprin and multi-vitamin daily. I am of reasonable health as I am 5 10 and weigh 198 pounds. I had my miniscus removed three years ago and my ortho doc told me I need a hip replacement when the pain exceeds my tolerable limits.
