What is hemifacial spasm?
Twitching on one side of the face without a clear reason can be a mild symptom caused by magnesium deficiency, stress, overwork, or lack of sleep.
However, if facial or eye twitching lasts more than a month even after taking magnesium or getting enough rest, you should consider a neurological condition called hemifacial spasm.
The number of patients seeking care for hemifacial spasm continues to rise, so even brief, subtle facial twitching should not be ignored.
