Nose twitching, pulsing, possible causes

I am having it sporadically also; the left side of my nose! I am not feeling stressed and nothing has changed in my routine. Just need to know it is not something looming like a stroke!

For me on the bridge of the nose, pulsating almost like blood or something is pumping through the area.  Doesn't hurt, however it is driving me crazy.

 

Here's one more person that is going through the same thing. I just ignored it the first couple of days but this is becoming quite annoying now. I went to doc on Xmas eve but I did not bring up my nostril issue. They checked my urine and blood for infection due to my severe flu-like symptoms. Everything came back fine. I feel a lot better today but I still have this massive amount of mucus in my nose and this continuous throbbing feeling in my left nostril. Ahhh help

its inflammation and swelling in the small vessels in your nose. it pushes on the nerve that innervates your facial muscles nearby. you will have temporary relief with nasal decongestant like afrin, or pseudoephedrine, saline nasal flushes, and air humidifiers while you sleep. However, you may need to go to your doctor and get a nasal swab for a bacterial infection. you will need antibiotics to get rid of the infection in your sinuses. once the infection is gone, you will no longer have the inflammation, and the nose twitching will cease for good. be careful not to over use your nasal decongestant (afrin) because it will make it even worse with rebound congestion and inflammation due to dried out nasal membrane and bleeding. good luck

I've had stress at work, lack of sleep and a lot of caffeine to deal with both. 

My nose twitch started about 2 1/2 weeks ago and got worse and worse and started to include a lower eye lid twitch till 3 days ago.

I stopped drinking caffeine (Diet Coke) and started getting more sleep. I noticed a reduction of twitching the first day and today I haven't noticed it at all. 

I'm sure there are several causes for this but I think I found and remedied mine. 

I have Lyme disease but its been in remission for quite sometime. How do you know this is what can cause this? Kind of freaked out by it. I'm on day 3 with this annoying pulse! It's driving me crazy!!

I take two allergy meds, sit in a dry office all day and attribute this to nothinf more than irritated nerve endings overfiring due to lack of natural lubricants. Your nose, eyes, cheek, ears and throat all share common sinuses and drain into one another so it's more likely seasonal allergies and irritation from allergens.

Ok add me...My problem is i get twitching on the bridge of my nose and the left nostril. The best way i can describe the feeling is that someone has hook your nose and is pulling up on it and letting go....Funny description i know just not sure how to describe it

It's due to anxiety andor being stressed.

This is happening to the lack of sleep make sure you you need to go to sleep at 8:00 every night for the past 2 weeks drink 1 cup of water a night it should fix your problems also if you play video game only play 3 hours a day if you still want to play video games

A nose twitch could be a symptom of nerve damage. It could also be caused by a tic, most commonly referred to as Tourette's Syndrome. Some people get facial twitches when they are stressed or tired. It is good to consult a doctor to get the correct diagnosis. This is the best way to ensure proper treatment.- The Helper

Ah, glad to see I am not the only one experiencing this weird twitch!!!   It's just above my left nostril and is so incredibly annoying, but I'd honestly feel weird/silly going to my doctor about it! However, all the comments linking it to stress make A LOT of sense, as I'm currently finishing up the first year of my PhD program... 

Also, I have been drinking a bit more coffee lately, AND I've really ramped up my workouts, as I have more time due to the semester being over (two things that several other people have mentioned as well!). I wonder if it's the combination of stress and these other factors?!

Good luck everyone with figuring this out! :D

If this has been going on for 5-6 years now(which is a pretty long time) you might have Blepharospasm. Myabe for you,its chronic, or permanent. but it usually lasts a few day for me.

observe your life style and environment.
Does your nose twitch corresspond with any specific thoughts or emotions? Like thinking about relationships or responsibilities ect..
How is the air quality at home and at school/work, is the air quality poor or does it change often?
And have you been plucking hairs from it regularly? It could be having nervous system spasms.

you dont have to answer these publically, just ponder on the thought if you please.
