Why a muscle pull is felt while lifting a side of the lip?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
While lifting the left side of my lip, I can feel a muscle pull. It is present only on the left side of my nose. My face and mouth are not drooping. I cannot see any red or white spots and there is no pain. I feel weird. It started before a week and I do not smoke. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Your symptoms look strange. If your lip moves involuntarily, then you might have muscle twitching due to intake of more caffeine. If you have tingling, then it can be an early sign of recurrent herpes infection but only if it lasts for a few days before the appearance of vesicles. You might have a spasm in your lip muscles so try using hot pads on your lip to relax the muscles. If you take a lot of caffeine, reduce your consumption and eat foods rich in potassium like bananas. If you start to have tingling or redness in that area, you need to consult your doctor for antiviral medicines. There are other rare possibilities but its occurrence is uncommon in your case. Seek medical attention if there is no improvement.
I wish you good health.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
