Involuntary lip tremors, or tremors, a very unpleasant condition. When tremor is uncomfortable among people, it is difficult to get to know each other. What to do if your lips tremble from time to time?
How do doctors explain tremors? And why are some types of tremors easily treatable, and in some cases you can only temporarily suspend the development of the process?
Causes of Lip Shake
Why do some people have trembling lips? It happens that only one lip trembles, and sometimes both. More often this problem is easily solved. There are a few simple medical reasons:
- A lack of magnesium or vitamin B 12 provokes convulsive syndromes. You can take tests for B12 in the nearest clinic and find out for sure.
- Excessive nervousness. Especially in people with creative professions who take everything very acutely, nervous tics can occur.
- Injury. After injuries of the skull, foci of excessive electrical activity may appear in the brain, which leads to mild seizures.
- Meningoencephalitis in the initial stage or other infectious diseases.
- The upper lip may shake after cosmetic or dental procedures.
- The phenomenon of twitching of the lips may occur due to the fact that the trigeminal facial nerve has a cold.
If the cause is heredity, then it will be difficult to cure the tremor, since the genesis of such phenomena is poorly understood.
Trembling lips. Treatment
Essential tremor is a neurological hereditary disease. Tremor was described in 1929 by L. L. Minor. Constantly trembling lips are an occasion to make an appointment with a neurologist.
It is much easier to cure tremors associated with a lack of trace elements. Shivering lips - this may be the first harbinger of essential tremor, then begins to twitch the arms, neck, legs.
The reason for this condition is considered a violation in the descending pyramidal system, which is responsible for the transmission of impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles. Because of these disturbances, motion starts to tremble.
But to establish such a diagnosis, you must first conduct a differential diagnosis in order to discard all other diseases. Perhaps lip trembling is not a neurological symptom at all, but a signal from the endocrine system.
Treatment
How to respond, if at a fairly young age a strange condition manifested - trembling lips? If the phenomenon is simply associated with a nervous strain, you can take a course of sedatives. Or sign up for a pool or yoga - physical exercise is good for the psyche. The lack of magnesium or another trace element is filled in a few months.
But when the cause of the twitching is a hereditary essential tremor, then the treatment should be under the supervision of a neurologist. A neurologist usually prescribes pyridoxine and beta-blockers. This temporarily reduces the convulsive activity of the lips.
