The twitching usually occurs late in the afternoon and before bedtime. There is no pain associated with the twitching. It is a very fast twitch. It is very noticeable and my husband has noticed the twitching. I can also see the twitching by looking down towards my cheek and I have been having migraines lately near my left eye.

Usually little facial twitches like that are caused by stress- it's almost like your body trying to tell others your stressed so they'll comment on it! And although quite annoying, it's not something to be too worried about on its own.
But, accompanied with headaches, it might be something to watch out for. I would suggest trying (if you can) to take some time away from the stressful things in life (work, schooling, whatever), and spend some time relaxing. It doesn't have to be long (maybe just a weekend), and take a couple of bubblebaths. Oh, and sleep in! The average adult needs 8-9hrs of sleep, but most of us only get 6-7!
If sleep and a stress-free weekend don't help, and the headaches persist/get worse, then it might be time to call up your doctor.
Good luck!

Why Is My Face Twitching

It sounds like a nerve is going crazy. Try using a wet hand towel heated in the microwave for 30 seconds then lay it on your face and let the heat soak in. Repeat as needed.
This will help a head ache also. Put it on the back of your neck after heating it one time. I make no guarantees but the heat might relax the twitching muscle and I know it will help the headache.

I used to get these twitches too. Get more sleep. The reason your eye is twitching is because you need more sleep. I always got the twitches after a spell of insomnia. The headaches don't surprise me either. I don't think they are associated with one another, but the solution may be the same, sleep.

The twitching may be due to the irritation of Cranial nerve VII (facial nerve). If the nerve is severely damaged, it will result in Bell's palcy.
Bell's palsy is sudden, idiopathic, unilateral peripheral 7th cranial nerve palsy. Symptoms are hemifacial paresis involving the upper and lower face. There are no specific tests for diagnosis. Treatment may include corticosteroids, lubrication of the eye, and intermittent use of an eye patch.
Consult a neurologist.
Please note that I am not a medical professional.
Please see the web pages for more details on 7 th cranial nerve and Bell's palsy.

Consider this question: Have you been getting enough sleep? You should be careful about stress in your life, try to slow down a bit and relax. Get some sleep and lower stress. If you have anymore questions, see your doctor.
