Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My neck has been twitching and making weird movements a lot since last week. It was worse before, but now it’s improved a little. However, it’s still there, and it’s starting to really irritate me. I’m not sure what’s causing this, and I just want it to stop. Can you help?

 

Hello

 

Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.

 

The symptoms you’re describing could be cervical dystonia, though conditions like essential tremor or motor tics might also cause similar movements. While these conditions are generally benign and treatable, they can be disabling. I recommend consulting with a neurologist, either physically or virtually, for an accurate diagnosis.

 

Thanks
