I have tremors / spasms in the neck on the left side, which project to the face and ear. I would like to know which doctor to look for (which specialty: otorhinolaryngologist, neurologist, orthopedic, etc.).
Expert answer:

Muscle spasms or spasms in the neck or any other part of the body should be evaluated by a physician neurologist.

It is necessary to identify the origin of these spasms and tremors, which may be in the nerve responsible for innervation of the musculature, in the muscle or still have origin psychological, such as stress, for example.

A possible cause for muscle spasms in the neck is the muscular dystonia, that when it touches the neck receives the name of spasmodic torticollis.

Spasms may occur on only one or both sides, changes in the posture of the head and neck, with rotation and lateral deviations, forwards or backwards.

The torticollis may or may not cause pain. The intensity of symptoms can worsen with stress and fatigue and improve during rest periods or when the person is lying down.

However, it is important to remember that dystonia is one of the possible causes of these symptoms, which, as already mentioned, may even be related to stress and not be a sign of any disease.

Consult a neurologist for the origin of the problem to be properly diagnosed.
