My eye won't stop twitching! Any help??

Question

Four whole days now, on and off from the time I wake up until I fall asleep. What's the causes and how can i make it STOP??

Answer 1

There's a lot of it about: "Eye twitch" has been asked 2,912  times on Y!A.

In the absence of any other symptoms, it's basically stress and fatigue related.

If getting more sleep and cultivating a more relaxed lifestyle (correct answers) provoke a response of "fat chance" or similar, since marginal potassium  deficiency can sometimes be an associated factor, it's worth trying drinking fresh tomato juice or,  if that is unappealing, eating bananas.

Answer 2

It sounds like it could be from stress or a lack of sleep.  I'd say if after a week, I would check w/your doc or optomitrist.  They can give you tips on how much sleep you should be getting (studies always change and now I think it's at least 6 now instead of 8 hours that you need) and some stress relieving tips.  If you have severe headaches and vision problems that go along w/this "twitching" I'd schedule an appointment asap w/your doctor.... especially if you see constant floaters or blurriness.  Better to spend the money on a doc and find out you're okay than not so and end up putting up w/a deeper problem.

Answer 3

Muscle spasms are usually caused by stress or anxiety. The worst thing you can do is worry about it, because worrying will lead to further stress, which can cause it to get worse.

The best thing you can do is to simply get good amounts of sleep. Little amounts of sleep add to stress and can therefore help cause muscle spasms.

As with any condition, if you are that worried your best bet is to see a doctor. Severe forms of muscle spasms have been said to be treated with drug therapy. But unless the eye spasms are that chronic, the doctor will probably suggest the same as i have.
