The lower eyelid of my left eye has an uncontrollable quivering or trembleing that comes and goes. It is really annoying! Not really painful, eye not red, no eye drainage or anything. It has been going on for about 3 days now off and on.
Could it be stress related? I have been under tremendous strain in the last week with my hubby in the hospital, and another family member sick and hospitalized at a different hospital.
Could it be sinuses or allergy? I have environmental allergies, hay fever,etc. I am a little stuffed up, but nothing major.
ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thanks!

I get this all the time..
It is triggered by stress.
I talked to an opthalmologist I work with, and he suggested to gently massage the area that is spasming...
As well as that increase your calcium intake.. drink more milk, eat cheese yogurt etc.
I still get the spasms from time to time, but can still see etc.. its' just a real pain in the ****.
Good luck

This happens to me when I'm really stressed out and/or tired. I'd give it about week. About 3-4 days is the longest it's lasted for me, on and off of course. Don't worry, it'll go away and you probably won't even notice. Just keep your mind on other things and limit time at the computer and television screens. Also, try and relax your eyes as much as possible; no straining. Uninterrupted sleep may be the best cure.
It's not allergy related as simply it's a muscle spasm. Allergy are usually either one of two things: Inflammation or irritation.
Hope everything gets less stressful for you soon.

A twitching eyelid usually indicates that you are fatigued. Try to relax and rest more, however, it is easier said than done when you are stressed.

it's usually stress or a vitamin deficiecy that causes that twitch. liken it to a muscle twitch in any other part of your body. Make sure you are eating good, wholesome foods, getting enough sleep and relaxation.

Take some super B's as stress depletes your supply and that's the symptom. I have it on occasion, and a super B complex will help.

Are you drinking a lot of coffee or other caffinated drinks? I get this problem when I drink too much coffee...which I do when I'm stressed!

yes it could be due to stress and it could be due to lack of sleep and crying alot..
i learned in massage therapy school that you may have what we call a trigger point in one of your eye muscles that causes that to happen...try massaging around your eyes and your forehead

Fatigue. Get some sleep and you'll be cured.
