What Causes Headaches And Bottom Lip Twitching When Suffering From Hypertension?

I have been experiencing a bad headache for 2 days now and have noticed my bottom lip on the right side twitching. I first thought I was imagining the twitch because I ve never had one in my lip before. But it is definitely not my imagination. I also have some nausea. I do have a hx of migraine headaches and I also have hypertension. Should I be concerned?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain lip quiver or twitching can occur commonly due to causes like Vitamin B12 and calcium deficiency, potassium deficiency, traumatic injury or inflammation of facial nerve that supplies muscles of face,anxiety and panic attacks, nerve inflammation and infection caused by viruses etc..
I would suggest you to first of all consult your treating Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis..

You will be advised to get investigations done like MRI, CT Scan, Nerve conduction studies, Electromyogram etc to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..
You can be advised to take multivitamins along with calcium and potassium supplements..
You can do warm compresses over the lips.
You can also do breathing exercises along with meditation to keep stress minimal..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
