Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to XXXXXXX

The problem you have mentioned in your link and you are having appears due to some tic disorder or twitching. Such presentation is very disturbing to patient and it cause problems in proper functioning. I would advise you to consult a neurologist or psychiatrist for proper opinion. Various medicines are useful in such conditions as haloperidol. The drug cause stabilisation of dopamine transmission and relax the involved muscle fibre.
You can go for electromyography for assessment of defect in muscle fibre.

If you have more questions you can ask again, Thanks
