How can i make my eyelid stop jumping?

Question

my eyelid has been jumping all day yesterday and all day today. what does this mean? how can i get it to stop jumping?

Answer 1

OMG, mine has been doing that too lately. It's SO annoying.

But I figured mine was from stress, and from lack of sleep. Which I've been getting a lot of lately.

It'll probably stop soon, mine went on for almost a week :| It's annoying, i know.

Answer 7

It may be your high blood pressure mine does it I am on medicine now and it never does it!

Answer 8

I don't know but if you find out let me know. This has been happening to me too. I think it's related to stress or high blood pressure. When it happens to me I try to take a couple of deep breaths and concentrate on relaxing. That seems to help. I've been thinking about going to a Dr.

We should start an eye twitchers club.

Answer 9

It's a tic, or muscle spasm. The best way to get these to stop is get more rest. When I'm short on sleep, they're most likely to occur. A tic is a good sign to stop what you're doing (if studying or working at computer) and take a break.

However - checking some online sources (below), they recommend seeking prompt medical attention. I'm not a doctor so I can't say either way. There *may* be a serious underlying problem. But I have had these involuntary twitches on and off for years - always related to stress and, even more, lack of sleep. Annoying, but in my case (and hopefully yours), nothing to worry about. Hopefully that's the same in your case.

Answer 10
