Twitching And Numbness?
Posted: 08-13-03 10:02am

I'm 26 years old and i'm having issues with my left cheek twiching. It's been going on for about a week and has gotten worse today. It feels like an eye twich, but only on the cheek. I've also been expierencing numbness or tingling in a couple of my left toes. I'm not sure if this is anything to worry about, or if it's normal.
Confused

If you don't have any other health condition in which spasms or numbness may occur, then i'm thinking it must be due to a vitamin deficiency.

I've heard that a lack of iron causes all of the above including nose bleeds.

Hope i've helped

Also, it is perfectly normal to have an occasional tingliness or numbness at any joint or tissue in the body. It's either a sign of growing, or a sign of over-exertion.
