My right eyelid has been twitching a lot lately. What could that mean?

Question

I hope it's nothing...it's painless and I have been ignoring it. But, it sure does look weird when I look in the mirror and see my eyelid bouncing all over the place.

Answer 1

I have that a lot and found out that I was low on potassium. Eat a load of bananas or get some potassium.

With your finger, tap right above your eyebrow. If your eye twitches BAD or shuts, it's probably potassium.

Answer 2

This could mean a NUMBER of different things. You could have a facial tic from tourette's, it could be a form of Bell's Palsy, it could just simply be a twitch from under-worked orbital muscles. I would need more information to answer this question...

Answer 3

That happens to me sometimes. Nothing to worry about.. Sometimes drinking milk for a few days helps alleviate the problem.

Answer 4

It means that you have a suspicious mother-in-law who probably gives you the evil eye. Just kidding, but get a little more sleep, a little less caffeine, and live in moderation.

Answer 5

If this happens frequently, you should see a physician. If you note facial drooping, go to the ER immediately.

Answer 6

Sometimes it's from stress, other times it could be a pinched nerve. Nothing serious.

Answer 7

the same thing happens to me alot but with both eyes and it drives me up the walls i think it is a reaction to soap getting in your eyes .

Answer 8

S-T-R-E-S-S...better change your job before your heart starts twitching.

Answer 9

sometimes that can be stress...but that is why my eye twitches
