Kinda worried

So the last hour or so my check bone under my left eye is like twitching, but have a numb feeling. And idk if I should be worried. I looked it up on google (dumb i know) and it says I could have a tumor. Now I’m freaking out. I’m 19 no medical issues, had blood drawn 5 months ago or so.

I had that happen for a week earlier this year. I googled it then it said lack of sleep and stress are usually the cause. After a week it went away and I haven’t had it since.

I’m 17 and have a lot of medical issues. So can’t relate to the other part.

But try to stay calm. Googling things usually ends up with it saying it’s cancer or your dying. When it’s usually something very different and not dangerous at all.

If it continues for over 2 weeks I’d go to a doctor. Just to check it out, maybe give you some peace of mind.

This is the first night it’s happened. I was getting headaches constantly, but haven’t in quite a while. And my eye would twitch a lot. But that hasn’t happened in a while. So idk. I’m just worrying myself badly.

Yeah it’s probably just from stress. But you can always go get it checked out by a doctor . (If you have health care it can afford it)

I don’t want to go to the doctors unless I absolutely have to, ya know? Like if I’m having more than one symptom of something. If I was still getting bad headaches and stuff I would. But I’ve been really good. Working on my anxiety and all.

I also pop my jaw out of nervousness so do you think maybe that could be it? Bc I pop my jaw A LOT. More than 300 times a day

Idk. I also have done that a lot in the past. Not so much now. But never that much. Idk if it could cause that sorry 😕

Hi this happens to me sometimes. Super annoying feeling! I think I sometimes tense my face but don't realise, or squint a lot because my eyes are quite sensitive to light. And that's what causes the twitching in my cheeks.

Yes, I agree with others. I had the same and it was actually due to stress and anxiety. Hang in there.

I’ve had this too and it was twitching all day for several days I honestly think it was because I was stressed also aniexty

Had this happen to me and worry me like crazy. I think it must have been stress or anxiety because over time it went away and hasn’t returned. The more I thought about it, the worse it was.

Please Please And Please STOP looking into google for medical advice. I did that. It said I had Leukemia, I was looking for low white blood cell count. Go to a Real doctor
