stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep can cause or make the twitching worse so make sure to sleep and not to worry to much. Also heard eating bananas will help it go away because the twitching is sometimes cause by a lack of potassium which bananas have a lot of.

Answer 4

This will stop soon if it's your upper left lid.  It is not related to stress.

It's a nervous tic.  Is there something bothering you?  If not, try an ice pack on the back of your neck.  (Yes I know the tic is in your eye, but trust me I'm an old know-all)

Tiredness makes your eyelid twitch, it's the nerve ending protesting!

Get some more sleep.

Answer 12

Your twitchy eye is a result of stress and is no cause for alarm. The eye doctor I work with with always prescribes a 'hot toddy'  for this condition. The alcohol relaxes your muscles to calm the twitch. Also, I've found that if you try to show anyone the twitch as its happening- it usually stops!

Answer 13

it happens to me when i'm stressed. and it tends to hang around for a couple of weeks and then goes away eventually.

interested to see if anyone has a cure. I tried applying something warm to soothe it but it didn't work.
