    I do have this (jaw spasm) from time to time, too. In and of itself it can, very likely not be something at all, along with other neurological symptoms it could be a pattern, hopefully not though.

    I always recommend that anyone with ongoing health concerns, to keep a running record of symptoms, concerns, dates and anything else you think might be connected. A record can be very handy if you find yourself having medical investigation of any kind.

    Good luck.

    I forgot to mention, try reading about 'myoclonus' and 'hypnic jerk', they're just the names for some types of spasm.
