Suggest Treatment For The Twitching Sensation On The Face
Discovered I had afib about 6 weeks ago. Was hospitalized for two days as heart rate was very high and out of rhythm. Was on blood thinner now just aspirin and diltiazm. Been experiencing this twitching in the right side of my face off an on. Not sure if it is just stress related or something else... My fear is it it some sign of a stroke I also take clonapin for anxiety when needed.

Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you have suffered
Anyway i am glad that you have been diagnosed and right treated
If you have sinusal rhythm now aspirin and diltiazem are fine but if you are still suffering AF you need to be anticagulated
As for stroke suspicion your symptoms doenst lead to stroke it seems anciety disorder but it is reccomended to schedule a neurological exam and if it is normal you have nothing to worry about
Regards
