It is difficult to identify the problem without physically seeing it but according to the description of a “chin vibration”, you might have been experiencing fasciculations of the facial muscles. Muscle fasciculations are usually physiological in nature but they could be also signs of some kind of nerve damage. That’s why you can consult your GP first for a consultation, and later a neurologist if necessary.
