My dad has blepharospasm where his left eye and cheek keep twitching nonstop, and it's really bothering him. He even gets headaches from it. Doctors mentioned surgery or injections as options, but I'm wondering if there are other treatments we could try first. What else might help with this?

I'm starting to feel concerned about my health because I've been experiencing a heavy tongue and slurred speech sometimes. I've already checked for any kind of stroke, and thankfully, that came back negative. I've been feeling quite distraught and restless occasionally. I used to be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I've been using a CPAP machine, and my sleep has improved quite a lot since then. Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.

all reports are normal it can be due to anxiety
