My eye twitches when I'm excited or worked up or overtired.

Seriously, don't freak out.

Take vitamin D + calcium.

This has happened to me since my teens. It lasts for weeks.

Eventually.


This is actually quite funny.

What about Bell's Palsy? Could it be that?

Stress and anxiety cause twitches.

I'm not the OP, but I am who you think I am. Sushi? The usual?

It's stress. And one of my favorite words, incidentally.

My left eye twitches almost daily, it has for probably a decade. My doc has told me it's stress related. Sometimes it twitches so hard, it freaks out people who I'm talking to, lol!

Someone is making you ill to seek attention from medical professionals?


OP - here, I guess I have to fess up now, this is not for me, it's for my child. I was only trying to shield my child from the pain and stgma of twitching eye lid syndrome. You are right, we need to go to the doctor.

NP working in Neuro here. 99% of the time it's stress/fatigue related. Usually is off and on, lasts days to weeks and is gone.
If you get other "twitches", difficulty swallowing, clumsiness, then you have a problem.
