@JamesEdington 2 года назад

I have had this eyetwitch/spasm for 3.5months. I sleep pretty well, but have spinal disc problems so right now I take ibuprofen to go to sleep. I need to cut out caffeine! I have always operated at a moderate to high level of stress. I allow myself to stress over challenges because it is usually productive - it helps me solve things quickly. I wouldn't consider myself super stressed right now by any means...there have been far more stressful times in my life. My brother says I'm just getting old, which is true (we all arrive there if we're lucky). What's strange with mine is I distinctly remember back in November on the onset of this ailment that I had a stabbing pain so powerful it made me nauseous, it was in the middle of the night, and I thought I was going to be hospitalized. Took about 10 minutes to fully recover but since I've had twitching, and one or two more stabbing pain episodes that were a bit less intense. It feels like there is something in my eye and at night especially I concentrate trying to make sure I'm not moving my eye back and forth or it can cause pain.

@bunberrier Год назад

Im older and have had this on and off in my life, and I absolutely agree that three life factors aggrevate it 1) fatigue 2) stimulants like coffee 3) stress and stressful situations Try to solve those, but in the moment hold the twitch gently and calmly and try to be peaceful.

@dinyjp9075 3 года назад

Couple months ago I started a new position and the stress/anxiety triggered my lower right lid to spasm. It went away after a while and would come back on occasion. Currently not working. Recently I tried pinching a very VERY tiny bump at that corner (should've left it alone, very vain of me), and I noticed since then that lower lid would spasm more often. It's to the point where I can't even sleep on my right side or else it would trigger the spasm. Stress, sneezing, and squeezing my eyes shut irks it as well. Could I have disrupted a nerve or maybe it's an underlying concern?

@meyetips 3 года назад

It’s not likely that you would have damaged a nerve by pinching a small superficial bump on the eyelid.

My lower right eye lid has been twitching for a week now. I'm so paranoid people can see it. I have glasses but didn't wear them much and I haven't been sleeping that well for a while now and I havent been able to exercise as much as i use to because im tired after work. Since the twitching started I've been wearing my glasses constantly at work to try and hide it and stop the strain on my eyes. Really trying my hardest to sleep more and I exercise at least on the weekends. I've also brought a warm heat compress to use at bedtime. I'm also taking vitamin C, D and b12. My doctor said I need to wait at least a month before he can refer me for botox. I'm just praying that it'll disappear soon! 😔

Sorry to hear that. If it’s been going on for a while, definitely have a talk to your doctor to try and pin-point the issue in your specific situation.

@kooljay00 3 года назад

I've been dealing with this for about 20 years, im currently 34. Twice a year. Lasting anywhere from 2 weeks to usually 2 to 3 months at a time. Some days its a few flutters others its going all day. If something comes to close to my eye like my hand or anything being thrown, even if I get hit from playing around, it will set it off to twitch like crazy. I don't know what makes it stop or go away. Always felt it was a seasonal thing. But then I thought it was stress or lack of sleep. I honestly don't know. I don't drink coffee or tea. I know I've already struggled with sleep. Maybe it could be a combination of thing like lack of sleep & stress. As of lately I've able to get more sleep, just waiting on it to stop.

@meyetips 3 года назад

Let’s hope it stops soon. I think you are right it’s likely to be a combination of stress and environmental factors that have built up over time. It is a bit strange in your case the fact that it happens same time of the year and for so many years.

This is the same thing for me at school it is very bad and the twitching has developed over quarantine. I know how to trigger it also by blinking hard and it also pops up at random times and when things comes close to my face for example if someone hugs me or pretends to punch me when I flinch is triggers it and it’s annoying.

@@clairekershaw8903 hi it’s been about 1-2 weeks since I have taken the magnesium and speaking of today I’ve seen some changes. At times when I would expect my eyes to twitch it didn’t. I recommend not constantly taking them until u see changes. Try taking a break with the supplements as you do not want to over take. At the beginning I was taking 2 a day then after like 4 days I took one at night as these have 375mg in them which is a lot and more than what you get in your average food. Today I tried squeezing my eyes to see if it twitches and it didn’t twitch at all so I am thankful I will keep updating but I’m happy with what I have right now.

I've had eyelid spasm nonstop for 8 months+. Not a small eyelid twitch, but full movement in the two eyelids. Only when my eyes are closed. Wake up every day with super dry eyes too. Fullblown disease known as "begnign essential blepharospasm" is different though. Self-limiting myokimia it is not either. So I don't what I suffer from and how it will go.

I believe this is stress but I keep reading that this could lead to MS. Life is more stressful than ever currently. How long is too long to have the under my right eye spasm or twitch? Thank you

@meyetips 3 года назад

Hi Amy, I tend to take into account an individuals lifestyle and whether it is consistent with stress being the cause (it isn't always), as well as how long it has been going on for. If the stress factors are constant then it may make sense that the twitching may continue for a more extended time. I would be suspicious if perhaps after a several weeks of removing all stress factors or if there were no obvious signs of stress to begin with that it may be more of a neurological issue, for which I would refer them on for further investigation. If MS was a concern I'd be looking for other eye related signs and symptoms as well as other general complaints. The worse case of eyelid twitch I have come a cross was actually a lady that I worked with. After many neurological test, including head scans, no sinister cause was found and she was treated with Botox injections to the affected eyelid (redone periodically) and that solved her issue.

@FlaPnthrsPunk 3 года назад

My left top eyelid has been twitching periodically for almost the last 2 months. Over the last few days, my lower right eyelid has started feeling numb at times. When it does that, I notice the left top eyelid starts twitching. I was more stressed than normal when this started (not anymore), unfortunately work about 50-60 hours a week in front of a computer, and get only around 6 hours of sleep a night. All of those could be factors on why the twitches are still happening. I've tried using lubricant eye drops four times a day (which helps for a short time), massaging my eyelid with a warm washcloth, and recently started drinking 16 oz. of tonic water a day as I heard that could help. I'm considering going to my eye doctor to get it checked out. Is there any other advice that you'd recommend to eliminate the issue? Thanks!

@meyetips 3 года назад

That’s definitely a good idea, to get checked out. I’d also cut out stimulants like coffee and Redbull if you are using them to get through the days.

Hi. It would be a specialist ophthalmologist and the use case of Botox here would be for medical purposes. It would also usually take place once any other causes of the twitching have been ruled-out.

How about bodt twitching and restless legs

@meyetips 3 года назад

That is also a type of myokymia, with likely different cause.

Try a warm compresses on your eyelid with a hot towel or a heat mask also to see if that helps.

I’ve had my twitch for about 5 years now. It bounces around to all 4 of my lids. I get Botox whenever it’s really bothering me. Wish there was a permanent fix.

@meyetips 3 года назад

It depends on whether you can relate to being under stress or sleep deprived and how long it has been going on for. If in doubt get an eye exam for specific advice.

It has gotten better through the weekend I think it was I needed rest it was just annoying at first but I watched a video another doctor said just ignore it if it isn’t causing harm and it will gradually go away on its own

Hey doc, I have another question: Why do you believe eye floaters sometimes come out of nowhere like one day you have clear vision and then the next you have the obvious 2-6 floaters and if you focus you see the thousands and thousands of small floaters? Like the really small round ones that are not visible unless you focus

@meyetips 3 года назад

It’s all part of the changing fluidity of the vitreous. The cause of the changing fluidity can be several things and can be different from person to person. I’ve done videos on the channel that explore this, so please feel free to check them out.
