About a month ago, during my holidays, I managed to faint and hit the pavement with a side of my face. It left me with a blue eye (which is now almost entirely gone) but no lasting damage.
However, about a week or so I started to feel these weird twitches (which are not visible, from what I can gather) in my left cheek, cheekbone and jaw (this is the side I hit the pavement with) and I feel that side of my face to feel somewhat "tight". However, it is not as pronounced for me to be certain that there is something definitely happening there.
Could I have damaged my facial nerve perhaps? I am not sure if these symptoms are not excerbated by the fact that I focus/think about them a lot, which may cause my face muscles to contract as a result. Knowing I'm a hypochondriac, I decided to ask Languish for a reasoned medical opinion. :uffda:
You didn't faint. You were knocked unconscious and shot up with botox by a crazed plastic surgeon.
Marty with an attention whore thread? Must be Friday.
The constant poking of dicks on the inside of your cheek could well be the source of your discomfort.

No shit. Lay off the corn dogs, Marty.
Fate may be the only one on the forum that can provide an intelligent answer to this.
Did you go to a doctor? Fainting isn't normal in and of itself and should be of immediate concern.
There are lots of forms of benign fasciculation that can cause twitching or tightness occasionally, if it is persistently happening over several days that could be a concern, though.

I bet he saw a Macbook with a pinker cover than his.
:lmfao:
It is probably just a benign fasciculation, like you get in the eye when you need sleep. I had one over half of my face when I worked out very, very hard that lasted for weeks. I was worried I'd had a stroke, so of course I didn't see the doctor...
Head trauma can cause tics, so it's definitely worth getting checked out. Brain MRIs are fun, you see inside your head!

Just imagine what kind of thread this would be if he fed corn dogs to his corn hole.

And yet Fate is the person on this forum least likely to provide an intelligent answer... :hmm:

I think Marty would be disappointed in what they find in there.

Sometimes I have to wonder at your lack of ability to get a joke.

I went to a doctor about the fainting. Neither a cardiologist nor a neurologist found anything out of order but I will get a EEG scan just to be sure. I fainted after missteping and straining my ankle, so the pain with the heat apparently can be a common cause for fainting like this.
