Twitches???

Question

Why does my left eye twitch for a few days and then my right eye will twitch for a few? Someone told me it is becuase i am tired.

Answer 1

The precise cause of the twitching (muscle fasciculations) is unknown, and, in fact, it's not known if it's a disease of the motor nerves, the muscles, or the neuromuscular junction.
However, anxiety is clearly a major contributing factor in many cases, and a high level of psychological stress appears to be a factor in others.
Another factor that seems to be common in many cases is a history of regular strenuous exercise. In addition, there are likely other genetic and environmental factors that make the patient more susceptible to Twitching.

But i suppose yours is a case of benign twitching (mild twitching)
and not caused by a disease or disorders.

Benign twitches Often affect the eyelids, calf, or thumb. They are Normal and quite common, often triggered by stress or anxiety, A diet deficiency, Drug overdose, Drug side effect (such as diuretics, corticosteroids and estrogens), and Exercise.

A friend of mine had twitching on his legs, upper chest, shoulders, and Eye lids... He took Lorazepam (anti anxiety) for a while and kinda went away...But I'm not advising you though, to take this drug.. Better consult your physician first.

Answer 2

Yes, tiredness, calcium and vitamin deficiency can cause twitches of eye lids, lips, muscles in the palm.

Stress also can cause them

Eat vegetables, fruit, drink milk and for a short duration some multivit tablets.

Answer 3

I've had that exact same thing happen to me. It's so annoying! Especially when I would try to put on eyeliner and my freaking eyelid would go nuts. I went to an opthomoligist and he basically told me it was stress. Which it was. I had just moved to a new city, etc, etc....so stress is a big factor. Also, eyestrain might be a factor as well.

Answer 4

May be you've been staring at the screen for too long (happened to me).

Answer 5

Tired, stressed, sleepless and anxious.
