Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have are likely to be related to cervical spondylosis. the twitches in the tongue can be due to electrolyte imbalance and stroke. An MRI scan of the head and neck will help in detecting the exact cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
