Muscle throbbing in the face is medically known as facial muscle spasm, which may be related to physiological and pathological causes, such as vascular compression, facial neuritis, and so on. 1. Physiological reasons: people who are highly nervous, often stay up late or have insomnia are prone to abnormal nerve excitation, resulting in facial muscle spasms, mild muscle throbbing will be relieved after rest. 2. Pathological causes (1) Vascular compression: If granuloma occurs in the bridge cerebellar angle area, the buds in the bridge cerebellar angle area will compress the facial nerve root, resulting in involuntary facial muscle throbbing. (2) Facial neuritis: Neurophilic viral infection, etc., often after cold or upper respiratory tract infection, acute viral infection and edema of the facial nerve in the penile mastoid foramen. This leads to compression of the facial nerve and may result in involuntary muscle jumps in the face. When frequent facial muscle spasms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention, follow the doctor’s instructions for further examination, clarify the cause with the help of the doctor, and carry out targeted treatment or therapy.
