Lip/cheek twitch when I blink? Could this be anxiety?

[Jakep47]

Hi everyone I’m new here. I’ve recently been noticing above the right side of my lip pretty much my cheek, twitches every time I blink and only when I blink? I’ve become very fixated on it because I can feel it when I blink. Could this be anxiety or something more?

Sounds like anxiety to me. You're fixated on it, so you're noticing something that's probably always been that way and you just now realized it.

Are u saying that it’s not caused by anxiety?

That's correct. It's just normal, and you're noticing it because anxiety causes heightened awareness to normal bodily functions.

I see what you mean but there’s no way it’s normal. I’ve talked to people I know and I’ll show them and they have never had anything like it

They don't notice it, that doesn't mean they aren't experiencing the same thing. If you're convinced it needs attention, ask your doctor.

I do not think so. But i am speculating. I think it can happen with stress though, or perhaps nervousness.
