Why do I feel muscle twitches in my left eye?

Question

I only feel it in this one & not the right one. What could be wrong?

Answer 1

hey!- OMG I used to have the same problem, my left eye used to twitched uncontrolably. The muscle would twitch for minutes at a time, and even if I put my fingre on the muscle and released it the eye would still twitch.

I did go and visit my eye doctor while I was dealing with these "twitches" in my eye. Well ends up that 99% of these "twitches" are caused from stress. STRESS!! lol- I never thought that that would happen to me but believe it your not the only one who has it. All the "twitches" are from stress, there is nothing really you can do about it other than trying to at least take a couple days for yourself and ignore the stress in your life.

Other typical places where people carry stress 99% of the time is: the eye "twitches", the upper shoulders and neck. And my untimate favorite is carrying 99% of the stress in the jaw (TMJ)- grinding or clenching your teeth. (hope this helps out!!-- and DONT WORRY NOTHING IS WRONG- your body is just dealing with stress.)

Answer 2

how much sleep are you getting? most eye twitches are one way of your body telling you you are tired. are you working out more? whenever my sports season is in full swing, i always feel like my eye is twitching. its because your body is being overworked. 4-5 hour computer use back to back is bad. it will strain your eyes, therefore causing your eye to twitch. however, if its not back to back, it is probably not that big of an issue, but could still be the cause of strained eye but if its really bad, you might want to go to the doctor.
