My brain just felt like it twitched and i don't know why. Help?

Question

I'm a bit scarred. I'm only 16 and I shouldn't be having brain problems.

Answer 1

Brain Twitching or  Myoclonus  is brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles. It describes a medical sign and, generally, is not a diagnosis of a disease. The myoclonic twitches or jerks are usually caused by sudden muscle contractions; they also can result from brief lapses of contraction.

Because of the complex nature of the "Brain" is advisable to consult your doctor if Brain Twitching persists for more than a few days.  

Answer 2

I have these weird little brain twitch feeling all the time. I thought I was alone on that. I have no idea what they are or how to describe them. They kinda worry me too but I've been getting them for years and I'm not dead yet, so I try not to think about it.

Answer 3

Could be seratonin but you need to give more specific details

Answer 4

Like you felt it move? Literally? Maybe you should tell a parent/guardian, or go to the hospital if your alone.

Answer 5

I know how you feel I get those feelings often also. I'm having some right now like your brain or something is moving inside like stretching or even a sudden movement. Well hopefully it's nothing bad and your not alone.  

Answer 6

lmfao, maybe you thought too hard.

Answer 7

your brain has no nerve endings, so if it was moving you would never feel it

Answer 8

Maybe you had a brain f**t. Happens frequently the older you get.

Answer 9

some of these questions are so funny... why would someone be worried becase their brain is moving? just leave it alone and it will never happen again

Answer 10

I had the same experience.  I told my mom and the doctor that I felt my brain twitching - those exact words.  Of course, it's not your brain really twitching, but I needed to know why this was happening.  I was a little older than you when this happened.  I was also a little depressed and occasionally dealt with anxiety issues.  After I was given a small dose of anti-anxiety medication, the "twitching" stopped.

The cause of this feeling could be a change in the levels of your serotonin (like another person already suggested.)  Serotonin is like a chemical messenger that transmits nerve signals.  These levels are a bit off when burdening the feeling of depression or anxiety.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!
