What Does Twitching On The Side Of Mouth Indicate?
I have been experiencing a twitch right above the right side of my mouth. In addition to that, I've been feeling twitching in both my lower legs, especially at bed time. I drink tons of water all day, but my job is rather stationary. Should I be concerned with all this twitching? I also feel very fatigued.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have twitching on ride side of face which is possible symptom of facial muscle weakness or bell's palsy. But there are certain ways you can test it at home like you should try to blow out or try to whistle if there is air leakage and you unable to do that then its facial muscle weakness symptom. Try to smile, blow a balloon if you are unable to do that then its symptoms of facial nerve palsy.
If you can do that without much difficulty then its a symptoms you should be more concerned about and you should visit general practitioner once and get it examined as then it could be related to heart problem such as stroke.
Do stretching exercises of face and do blow in and blow out on daily basis to prevent numbness of face.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
