What Causes Quiver In Lower Lips?

My mother is 83 yrs old and the only medications she takes are aspirin, tums and citracil fiber. She is in reasonably good health. Recently, she has become more forgetful as far as short-teerm memory is concerned, not long-term. She has developed a quiver in her lower lip. Do you have any ideas as to what would cause this.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain quiver of lower lip also known as Lip Twitching can be due to a number of causes like Vitamin B12 and Calcium deficiency,trauma to facial nerve or its branches that supplies the muscles of face,Potassium deficiency, anxiety, stress,weakening of nerves with age,viral infection of the nerve etc..
I would suggest you to give her nutritious diet along with multivitamin supplements..
Calcium and potassium supplements can be taken..
Do warm compresses over the lips..
Avoiding stress and anxiety can also help in improving symptoms and she can do breathing exercises and meditation for the same..
In case if there is no improvement in 15 days consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated and he can also advise her investigations like MRI, CT Scan, hormonal assy,nerve conduction studies, Electromyogram etc depending upon suspected cause and treat you according to the diagnosis..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
