What is the deal with eyebrow tics?!


Question: What is the deal with eyebrow tics?
My boyfriend is a 24 year old male. I have never talked to him about it but since i've known him i have noticed that he has eyebrow spasms. He will involuntarily move his eyebrows up and down and sometimes he will scrunch his forehead and look to the left. I feel bad for him. I do not know if this could be a health problem or not. His mom is a nurse so i assume she has noticed his "tic". I just do not want to ignore it if it is something serious. Should i be worried? Please help....

I have several tics. Tics aren't involuntary, we're usually aware of the urge. It's like an itch, you know you want to do it so you do it without thinking about it. It's very hard to ignore.

If this is his only tic I wouldn't be worried. Lots of people have nervous tics, usually with time they get less in frequency and intense. It's just a way of the body releasing stress

Answer mine? I mention my tics



The cause of tics is unknown, but stress appears to make tics more severe.
Many cases cannot be prevented. Reducing stress may be helpful.

Stop worrying.



It sounds like a mild form of Tourette's Syndrome.

i have severe tourettes.



Sure he didnt have Bells palsy or epilepsy or something? That doesn't sound quite normal or just a tick?
