eye twitching and covid?

[Anonymous]

Triple vaxxed and caught covid. In addition to stuffy nose, cough and a sore throat, I'm also experiencing eye twitching. Has anyone else experienced eye twitching or am I just stressed?

[Anonymous]

I’ve had eye twitching the last two days and wondered about it. I think it is likely due to lack of sleep from NYE.

Lots of eye twitching, lots of stress.

Seriously? You're being ridiculous OP. You mean to tell me that you've never experienced eye twitching pre-covid?

Take some magnesium for the eye twitch. May also be from dehydration.

I just LOVE how people dismiss a genuine question.

I will humor you. Yes, I have experienced eye twitching before.

What is different this time is it onset at the same time as my other symptoms, so at this point it's 3 days of eye twitching. Hence, my question.

Lack of sleep? Stress? Strep?

I’ve had persistent eye twitching for the past week which is unusual but I’ve tested negative for COVID twice now, several days apart. So who knows.

Stress or lack of sleep. I once had an eye twitch that lasted for more than 6 weeks during a particularly stressful period of my life.

my eyes haven’t been twitching, but they just hurt. It was one of my first symptoms

Yes, I had covid and same. I also know of others with the same issue. It has resolved over time, but would happen randomly closer in time to the acute infection. I would say time and magnesium.

Interesting that this is happening to some people. I don't have magnesium but I am hydrating.

+1, but I think my twitch was for *only* 3 weeks when I was very sleep deprived.

It's probably your body's response to the virus. Your body is under stress fighting the virus (even if you don't feel stressed). You might not be sleeping as well. So yea combo of things could contribute. Hope you feel better soon.

Same. I’m also having weird back and arm pain. Home tests are unreliable but I’m not dealing with a PCR.
