Eye Twitch
My left eye started twitching yesterday morning, and has continued almost unabated for about 30 hours. Of course I finally Googled “eye twitch”, and I was stunned to learn that eye twitches “usually stop within a week“. I was hoping for a matter of hours!
Update (April 8th): I originally posted this 9 days ago, and the twitch hasn’t gone away. I’m getting sort of used to it now though; like an old friend. I guess it’s time to ’see somebody’ about it. *sigh*
Update (April 23rd): Okay, now it’s really starting to get annoying. This eye twitch still hasn’t gone away! Before you ask, no, I haven’t gone to the doctor about it… I would feel so lame telling a doctor that my eye is twitching – that’s my problem. I’ll give it one more week.

Hi Guys,
So I came across this from Google, & I have the same thing as all of you – a left lower-eyelid twitch. I can’t stand it! I am going nuts. I do take antidepressants which I heard could cause it. I eat bananas every day, so I don’t think it’s potassium (not that it couldn’t be some other nutrient missing). Anything over the counter that will fix it?

Hi all,
My left-eye twitch started nearly 4 months ago and just won’t stop. Around the same time my left arm began to get really painful at the muscles above and below the elbow.
Brief History…….
6 months ago I had major surgery on my spine, a 2 level fusion at L5 with disc decompression.
After my surgery I had severe nerve pain in my right leg and foot. After 2 months it began to ease but that’s when the arm pain and eye-twitching began.
I’ve also noticed that the twitching gets worse if I sit in a particular position, on the sofa watching TV for instance. If I shift my position, it goes. So I’m fairly convinced that the twitch is related to the nerves in my spine.
Has anyone else come across this?

I have a similar issue. I have damage in my c-spine which causes pain and throbbing in my left arm and also gives me tingling in my head and eye twitching. Lyrica relieves the tingling and the twitching for the most part.

Hi,
I have the right eye twitch that is driving me nuts. It started just yesterday. I also have a pressure in my eyes and heve had this pressure/pain before. I think that the eyes are also dry. I have recently increased my water intake by at least double over the last 2 weeks. The twitching is in the eyelid, sometimes it is slow and sometimes it goes furiously!!! I am going to lose my mind from this.

UPDATE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello fellow Twitchers!! I am pleased to say that mine has stopped for now. I didn’t think that it ever would. My heart goes out to those that are still getting the spasms. It is scary and truly a nusiance. Don’t forget to try the Naphcon that I mentioned a while back. It’s a antihistamine. I bid you blessings and best of health.

If the extra water, reduced caffeine and reduced stress don’t take care of the twitch…try purchasing a mouth guard at the pharmacy for TMJ. I have had a twitch in my left eyelid for over a month and a little bit of swelling under the eye by my nose. My ENT asked if I had TMJ….I do, was diagnosed with it seven years ago. I have a fitted mouth guard from my dentist (similar to one that football players wear) that I wear at night when I start getting a lot of headaches. My ENT suggested that I start wearing it again as I haven’t needed it in the past year. Also, check out this website to see if you have TMJ.

Good luck all you fellow twitchers!

I must be lucky as I have a double twitch. Each eye seems to take turns. I can feel it sometimes at night too. I have had it for about 6 weeks now and it is really annoying. Just bought some 375mg Magnesium tablets which I hope do the trick. Does anyone else have the double?
March 7th, 2008 at
WOW! This is a very long thread. My twitch started yesterday in my lower right eye. I suspected I knew the cause from the get-go. Reading these posts confirms it for me…
The majority of the “causes” many of you mention are actually “symptoms” and “contributing factors” of HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:
Stress
Lack of rest
Dehydration
Potassium defiency
Magnesium deficiency
etc.
My BP is around 180/130. Optimum BP is below 120/80. If you have not had you BP checked within a year, you NEED to do so. It rises as we age. If you are “Borderline Hypertensive” (BP >120 systolic OR >80 diastolic), you should be able to treat with diet (#1), exercise (#2), and homeopathic remedies (water, rest, potassium supplements, magnesium supplements, Vitamin E, Cayenne, Niacin, Hawthorne Berry, and more).
Not trying to scrare anyone, but that twitch (and there are OTHER causes for a few) could be a warning sign of an impending Stroke. At least that’s the way I’m taking mine. Maybe now I need to finally get on the BP meds the Dr has recommended for years!
Best of luck to all!

Such an abnormal eye twitching may just be one of the symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia (neuroleptic medication-induced repetitive, involuntary, purposeless facial muscle movements).
March 12th, 2008 at
Hi All,
This has probably been the most informative website concerning eye twitching. Many different eye twitching problems and possible remedies discussed…
I didn’t realize this many people are afflicted with it.
I have had constant eye twitching in my upper right eye lid for two months now. At times my eye almost feels like it is fluttering. It is not noticeable to most people (my wife is the only one who has seen it). But the fact that my eye is constantly spasming is extremely annoying.
I am going to the eye doctor tomorrow, since it could be a multitude of causes….
March 13th, 2008 at
Hello All. I am still doing well and have sustained my water intake. I can’t tell how much of a difference it has mde. The twitching is practically non existent.
I was thinking, I wonder if Jason checks back in to see what an informative blog he has begun. It has been a tremendous help for me.
Are you there, JASON???????
March 13th, 2008 at
Hi Jackie, yes I’m here, though I must confess that I haven’t kept up with reading all 861 comments that this post has generated. I’m so happy to see that people with eye twitches are finding some help or at least some company in the comments on this post.
March 13th, 2008 at
Cheers to you Jason, and thanks for replying to me. How’s your twitch?
March 13th, 2008 at
Thank goodness for this site!! Not much else out there seems to be very helpful so far. I’ve been experiencing this stupid-a.. twitching under my left eye for ~ three weeks 24/7 and started to increasingly become worried; (can’t imagine those who’ve had for months+!!); mine seems to be a capillary or tiny vein, not muscle-related.
I actually have very good BP and eat healthy, exercise, take cal/mag/zinc supplements every other day along w/ daily multi-v, consume little caffine, but don’t always drink enough H2O, have been a little more stressed and not getting adequate sleep lately and work on computer most days. But all these things have been pretty normal traits (stress and lack of sleep have been much worse before), so it is a bit perplexing as I can’t pinpoint anything that’s really changed personally or in my environment. One thing that I did notice lately is foot cramping and that can be caused by low potassium, so hopefully it’s that simple – we’ll see.
I do feel better just knowing that plenty of other people experience some version of this and are overcoming this absolutely annoying condition! So in my effort to avoid a visit to the MD, at this point anyway, I’m going to try some of the suggestions that have seemed to work for others and if that doesn’t work, see an MD. I’ll report back if/when something changes (will apply brevity too : )
Thanks to all and Jason for taking the time to provide feedback and keeping this discussion relevant and current. Best to all my fellow twitch-sufferers!
March 14th, 2008 at
Just wanted to echo Jackie’s comments to thank Jason for starting such a great blog. Its a great support to know that fellow twitchers know what you are going through. Despite my thinking magnesium supplements were the answer – my twitch has returned, although not as bad as before. Its more down the left hand side of my nose now (as well as they eye), which is just as annoying! Shall keep trying the ideas I read here and hopefully the problem will be resolved sooner or later !!
March 29th, 2008 at
Wow, a lot of eye twitchers out there. My lower left eye has been twitching non-stop for atleast two weeks now and this is the first time I actually looked into it. I mean were talking the speed of 100 twitches a second. Luckily it’s only noticeable at close range and I am so used to it now I can’t feel it twitching anymore. I guess I have been a little stressed lately and not getting enough sleep but that is pretty normal for me. By the way, I drink more water than any mammal I know, so in my case I don’t believe dehydration is the cause. I guess I’ll just wait it out and see what happens, unless any of you guys have a good suggestion for me?????
March 31st, 2008 at
It was only several days after I posted my initial remarks and, more importantly, made of point of getting much needed rest over the weekend when the twitching finally stopped. Thankfully, it hasn’t returned thus far. One other thing I should mention is that I’ve been trying to eliminate synthetic chemicals from my body by eating organic food, drinking highly-purified water and using more organic/natural lotions and personal products ~ take time to read labels and look into safe ways to detoxify and become healthier, it’s worth it.
Hang in there if you’ve not yet found your solution and remember to be kind to your body – it’s your “temple!”
Blessings.

i have had my eye twitch constantly for like 2weeks now and it may stop for a short time during the day but it drives me crazy im so embarrased i dont even want to go out when it goes because i feel everyone can see it and think im a freak or something, and i dont want to go to the doctor either!! i have been tired because i have a 6month old so there is only so much sleep i can get that may be the issue but i also dont drink much water and i have been feeling dehydrated so im going to try drinking more water thanks to your comments i hope it works, i found sometimes also i would put an icepack on my twitching eye and it would temperarly fix it!
April 9th, 2008 at
Thank the lord im not the only one. Want to thank everyone for there stories. Have had my left eye twitch for a month, never mind eating bananas im going bananas!!!! Am going to try magnesium as it seems to work for a lot of you out there. Wish me luck will keep you all posted. Jo from wales x
April 9th, 2008 at
wow I too have a left eye twitch, its been about 3 months now..i tried acupuncture last week 2 x .. i noticed it twitching right after the session but went it away for about 12 hrs.. then returned. ?? I hope to figure this out??? COULD IT BE SUGAR? M.J.?
April 17th, 2008 at
Ok, my twitch… also a lefty… has been kickin’ for quite a while. I think it started up mildly about a month ago, but subsided. Well then I had some financial troubles about 3 weeks ago and the bugger’s been fluttering like mad ever since. I also found this blog via google and appreciate very much your posting your eye gripe, Jason. I’m heading off to the local grocery store for a case of tonic water and a crate of bananas. I am losing my MIND!!! I swear, I feel like punching myself in the eye! Ok, I’m kidding. Then it would be BLACK and twitching, and ya think ppl notice the twitch NOW! Black would only draw more attention. Thanks everyone for all the advice.
April 18th, 2008 at
Checking in after two years. My twitch stated in early 2006 (right side) and left by April 2006.
It hasn’t come back!
I do get 1-3 stutter-type twitches on the LEFT if I close my eyes tight when I sneeze, etc., but it disappears. It does get me nervous though when it happens because it reminds me of the non-stop twitching I had before.
I don’t eat bananas regularly anymore and I take magnesium 3-4 times a week. I have always been a water drinker and drink very little caffeine.
My stress is still high (doing my dissertation for my phd now), so that has been steady throughout.
I do acupuncture for my leg spasms and it sometimes helps. But they have continued relentlessly, especially late afternoons.
I hope everyone takes comfort that these twitches can go away, even when it was happening constantly for months. It just doesn’t make sense why they occur in the first place and what finally gets them to stop.
Take care everyone!

If you have allergies that could cause it but im sorry i dont know
April 24th, 2008 at
My eye has been twitching all week!! I know it is stress related for me because whenever someone does something to annoy me it starts twitching like crazy!!
May 2nd, 2008 at
Wow thanks for all the info. I have had a twitch in my left eye for over a week and it is driving me crazy. I am 4 months pregnant and the twitch developed after a bout of morning sickness. I am definatly going to try to increase my water intake but the mineral deficiency seems plausable too. In any case my body is definatly under stress. I’ll keep in touch.
May 11th, 2008 at
Thank you for everyone’s input! I’m a top left eye twitcher and thanks to your site, I tried the bananas and thank The Lord after 5 months straight twitching, it appears to be cured! It kept ME from going bananas! It’s something you never quite get used to. Above, one of the ladies mentioned something about foot and hand cramps as a sign of lack of potassium so it totally made sense for me to try the bananas since I had been getting cramps too! My Dr. had just poo-pooed my twitch and my coworkers were about ready to throw me out so I’m so thankful to know that I’m not alone plus many of your accounts gave me much-needed stress relief in the form of laughter! I went a 1/2 day on purpose without eating the bananas to see if the twitch would start again and it did so I ate another couple of bananas and it went away! Many blessings and I’ll be praying for all of you that you too will find your cure.

hi..
I have a very weird twitch. It is in my nose – on the left side only. I usually get a twitch on my left side of my head near the temple but now it is on the left side of my nose. It is very annoying. Anyone ever had that? I am not sure what it is but I have a headache as well but I am thinking maybe it is sinus related??
May 28th, 2008 at
i have this strange sesation running down my lt arm,not really pain ,but annoying just the same.what can I do any suggestions?
June 5th, 2008 at
Hi All,
I’ve been sitting here reading everyone’s posts about their eye twitches. I’ve been dealing with the LET (left eye twitch) symptoms too! My upper left eyelid has been twitching off and on all day for 30 days as of today. No days off… and the twitching lasts for anywhere betweem 10 seconds and 30 minutes, with spaces between twitching of the same durations. Anyway, i’ve been getting worried because i’ve also been dealing with a few other things too – such as severe headaches and migraines (i do get 1-2 year, but my migraines have been monthly and headaches almost daily), i’ve been dropping things constantly (about 20 things in a 8 hour workday), i have an AMAZING memory for appointments and i messed up my entire day 3 days ago – 3 appointments scheduled and got all three times wrong. I’ve been suffering with dizziness and/or vertigo for about 2 months. Pains down my left side and a funny tingly feeling in my baby finger and ring finger. I do have extremely light sensitive eyes, and my left eye has always been slow to focus and dilate. I have an eye appointment booked for next week. I also have TMJ, and i am currently booked with my dentist for a re-alignment appliance. About 2 months ago, i got a scratch on my left eye, and a month later i started dealing with this annoying spasm. I do not know if this has any connection to my twitch. I do not take in ANY caffeine, i eat bananas approx 4 times per week, all i drink is purified water, and the occasional orange pop. I’m lactose intolerant, but i do consume dairy products on occasion. I’m a social drinker – maybe 1-3 per week. My blood pressure is a constant 110/70. I work as a hairstylist, so i am not on a computer all day like some ppl are. I have asked the secretary at my doctor’s office if i should book an appointment for my “LET” and she tells me it’s really common and that it’s probably just stress related. I don’t feel stressed…
I’m slowly going through all the posts, and crossing things off my list one by one as to why this stupid eye won’t stop… but i’m starting to get really worried. I guess i’ll see what my optomitrist says on Tuesday…
My sis-in-law jokingly told me 5 days ago that my LET was contagious… because now she has a twitch in HER left eye too… hmm…
June 9th, 2008 at
I have had a twitchy left eye for a few months now, it tends to get worse if somebody points it out to me. I am 29 and a university student and also a mother of two so I am assuming the stress isn’t a good thing. My family keep pestering me to go to the doctorss but I would feel a right muppet going there to tell him my face is twitchy… I have noticed the last week my neck has started twitching but nobody seems to have pointed it out to me thankfully, I have it goes soon it is so annoying… I am glad to see I am not the only one suffering this though!!
June 19th, 2008 at
Cynthia! I really think you should see the Dr. to rule out something more serious! See the above blogs on 6/30/05 about getting an MRI done. I’m still twitch free since I’ve been eating bananas! Yeah!

Eye twitching is not as simple as it may look.It is how the third eye in the human body imparts warnings for things to come.
If a woman’s right eye lid is twitching she must become very cautious as it may indicate a tragedy or a mishap about to occur. Her left eye lid twitching is usually a good sign.
In a man’s case the lower left eye lid twitching can be a warning that there would be difficulty or problem with a spouse.
The upper eye lid may indicate impending problem.
The right lower eye lid is a sign of meeting a lover and the upper right eye lid twitching in men is a sign of good luck.
June 21st, 2008 at
I just started a new job and I am sure that and taking a diet medication at the same time is what lead to my twitching. I have never had this problem before and I have taken this diet medication, but with the focus on my new job have cut back to only about 20oz of water a day. I stare at a screen all day and then come home and jump right on the computer. My twitch has been going on for 6 days now and I am anxiously awaiting the day I awaken without the insane twitch above my right eye. Maybe I should ask for nap time at my job. That may reduce the fatigue and stress. Wish me luck!
June 22nd, 2008 at
My left eye has been twitching for 2 days now and it’s driving me crazy. I have had eye twitches in the past but it always was only a few times of the oourse of a few minutes and then it was gone. I have never had one last this long before so I’m concerned as to what is going on. I noticed about 6 months ago that my left pupil is always slightly larger than my right but with no other symptoms and not a drastic difference in size, I was told not to worry. I am wondering if this eye twitch is stress (I am in the middle of a divorce and custody) however the twitch came on when I was relaxed and having fun. Hmmmm, any ideas then let me know. I’m going to try the bananas thing right now!
June 23rd, 2008 at
Hello all, if my eyes were not stressed before they are now from reading this huge forum!
I’ve had an EYE twitch now for 2 months straight, like the rest of you its driving me insain
. I have gone to see the doctor, she ordered some blood work, to check electrolytes, magnesium and 3 other test. I’m still waiting to find out those results. She then refered me to the Ophthalmologists. The good news is that everything looks great and I have perfect vision. At 27 i’m the only one in my family (out of 8 of us) who doesnt need glasses. I have no stress, I sleep pretty good. I only drink water with the 1 cup of coffee in the morning but its never effected me before. I eat healthy. The eye doctor did tell me to try 1 benodryl before going to sleep to help relax the face. I’m not a fan of taking meds but I might have to make an exception. I do however start getting a pain in my eye once my has been twitching it for a few hours. I guess the spasems just get to be too much for my eye. WHO KNOWS
I’ll let you know when my blood work comes back. Good luck to everyone, this is a very annoying problem!
June 24th, 2008 at
Hi everyone,
.
Been a ‘twitcher’ for a year and half now, it comes and goes.
But would like to know – to any of you experience slight hand tremors as well? My hands shake visibly (not seriously though) whenever I pick something up, even when I hold the mouse, my forefinger will shake. Talk about embarrassing
I was wondering whether it was at all related, and I guess asking all of you would be a start?
June 29th, 2008 at
Oh My Gawd! I am so glad I’m not the only one thinking I was a freak to have had my lower right eye tic for the past 2 weeks. I too have been unable to look directly at my bosses(3 attys) or co-workers. [Yeah, I like the suggestion that we all eye twitchers work together. (LOL)] I was googling “below eye tic” & came to this wonderful informative blog & supportive group of people. Thanks to JASON for starting it all!!! I have definitely learned so much from reading all the other posts. I work in a high stress environment, at a computer all day long, over does the caffeine, early 40’s, lacking the sleep w/a 3 yr. old that still doesn’t sleep through the night & am a single Mom (90-moi/10 shared custody). Will definitely up my H20, start the bananas & the Cal-Mag powder. Good luck to all. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR THE MUCH NEEDED HUMOR SHARED IN THE POSTS! I COULDN’T STOP LAUGHING ON SOME. =)
July 1st, 2008 at
What a nice surprise to see this very extensive discussion when I googled “how to solve intermitten tic below eye”! LOL! It really is annoying, but Mimi is right, the humor in here did make me laugh and also made me feel so much better.
July 5th, 2008 at
DOT- what happened with the doctor visit? I’m contemplating getting some tests done, but want to know how yours came out.
July 7th, 2008 at
I’m hoping my eye twitch means I’m pregnant, but won’t be able to really test for another couple of days. It’s been twitching for about 4 days now, on and off. Annoying as heck.
As for the pregnant folks who are having this trouble and can’t take botox (eek), I would try acupuncture. Sounds strange to a Western mind, but it really works, and it wouldn’t sound strange to you if you were Chinese.
July 9th, 2008 at
I can’t believe I read almost all the comments on this web site. Entertaining and informative. Thank you for all the advice. My left upper lid has been twitching since March intermittently. I’m ready for a cure!
It feels good to know I’m not the only one.

I have had facial tics since 2004. I had an acustic neuroma (a brain tumor that is not cancer) in 1994 and had it removed. It came back in 2003. And I had radiation. A few months later I started facial tics. The Dr put me on neuronton and it helped for awhile. Now Years later when I am around people in public my facial stress is so bad that I want to run. I drink water constantly. I have days when the facial tics seem better. But then they come back. My Doctors says they are stress related. I have been on Xanas for 20 years or so but do not take it constantly. I use it and Loritab when in public and it does seem to help. Until I am stressed again. I feel like a freek and explain to people about my tics as then I feel more comfortable. I do feel stress is the cause. I do not feel stress like I did 20 years ago and feel that Xanax is not needed but when I take it like I should it does control my facial tics. It is a struggle but just writing this has caused me to tic. I to thought the light efected my tics. Also I had catarac surgery in 2001 and thought that might have helped with the tics. The doctor said I had very dry eyes but figured it was caused by the contant blinking. He did somekind of implant in my eye to clog my tear duk so I had more tears. It had helped my eyes but not my tics. There are days that I lay down and put a wet was rag on my eyes just to prevent them from tics and it is almost like I have now done it so long that it is just a comon instinct. Also I did had botox and it made it worse as then I ticed on the other eyed and side of the face. That is when the doctor said it is a stresser. So right now I will take Xanax like prescribed. I do not feel stress but it is like my face now feels the stress and not my body. Anyone else have these problems.
July 12th, 2008 at
This is too funny, there are so many people with crazy eye twitches. Have only had mine a couple of weeks but it’s driving me kinda nuts. could probably do with more water, less caffiene and better sleep sometimes… Am hoping all our twitches stop soon. If it’s any help i know that nobody has noticed mine and I’m sure it’s the same for all you other twitchers.
July 17th, 2008 at
Hello all -
I have the twitch on my left temple. I thought it was hypertension. Blurred vison, nausea, headaches. So I went to the ER where the ruled that out. After I went to the eye speacialist and they stated that I had eye allergies that caused my headaches and eye strain.
They gave me antibiotic eye drops and told me to keep using my nasal spray and claritin.
Hope this helps and this twitch /headache goes away.
Regards,
Errol
July 18th, 2008 at
Wow, I can’t believe how long this twitching can go on. Mine started in my left temple almost two months ago and then extended to my lower left eye. The eye twitch has gone away but the temple twitch remains. The only change in my lifestyle was that I had started running three miles a day about two months before this started. My doctor sent me for a CAT scan with and without dye. There were no issues. A blood test showed that nothing was abnormal. She has suggested that I see an eye doctor and also a neurologist as they may be small siezures (I have never heard of small siezures lasting all day, seems I’d be dead by now). Has anyone had this problem? It is very frustrating and I am tired of going to the doctor … I’ll try some bananas for now : )
July 21st, 2008 at
My Left eyelid twitch above the lashline developed a few months ago, and I ignored it at first (along with fatigue and some other symptoms I also ignored). The twitch progressively worsened until I finally went to the doctor. Turns out I was extremely Hypothyroid. It went away for the most part after 8 weeks of treatment, but recently the eye twitch has been worse again. Got my blood tested today and sure enough, my thyroid condition has worsened again.
July 24th, 2008 at
OK…way to many postings to read but my eye twitch is lower RIGHT EYE..I guess you could say by the noseso left side for a few weeks now off and on…I really haven’t heard anyone having that problem (in right eye).
August 1st, 2008 at
Hello,
My eye twitch is not on my eyelid as some of you mention, but just below that. This problem started halfway through my first semester as a grad student. This is the third stint of the twitching, which lasts about 2 weeks each time. I definately sleep enough, drink tons of water, exercise every day, eat incredibly healthy (but I may need to up the bananas), and feel stress free.
I do have allergies and taking decongestants consistantly seemed to help the last few times. The twitching stopped shortly after starting the decongestants.
As previous posts mention, it’s good to hear I’m not the only one!
August 3rd, 2008 at
My left eye stated twitching (the under eye area) on July 12th (Today is Aug. 3rd) and hasn’t stopped. It doesn’t twitch during the day, only after 8pm. I notice when I drink a glass of wine it makes it worse. This has never happened to me before. I wear contacts all day. It is driving me mad.
August 4th, 2008 at
oh, thank goodness for this site! i developed my twitch about two months ago — started one evening at a party and hasn’t stopped since. talked to my doc and he said to cut out caffeine (i can’t seem to make it throught the day without morning coffee and a couple of diet cokes throughout the day)! anyway, as difficult as this was, gave it a shot w/ no success. someone mentioned it may be stress. i am currently planning a wedding – getting married next month! when i sat back and thought about how the twitch started, i realized the party i was at two months ago was the first time alot of people were asking me about wedding details in one night. now i pay very close attention to the twitch — it’s always there, but i’ve noticed it grows much stronger when wedding planning intensifies. not stressed about getting married, just about coordinating the day well! praying this thing stops as soon as the honeymoon begins!
