Twitch In left top eye lid for 2 1/2 weeks?

Question

I have had a twitch in my left top eye lid for a few weeks now. I know that I am a very stressed person and over work myself with a full time job and a very healthy avtive 18/month old marriage and all. I have had eye twitches come and go when I am stressed but this one has lasted too long for me. I have ate bananas and I take a multi vita.....I am planning a Dr trip if this doesnt stop. But in the mean time I need to know if I am going crazy and if I can do anything to make it STOP??

Answer 1

sounds like stress.  mine does it when i get stressed out. try to relax, take a hot camomile bath or something soothing.

Answer 2

It is just a muscle spasm. It should stop on it's own. I have had them on and off over the years, but never lasted 2 weeks. If it continues you can go to the doctor, but I dought there is much he / she could do. they will just tell you to let it run it's course. Just relax and try to not let it worry you. It won't do any good to worry.

Answer 3

It's easy to stop eyelid twitches just relax & get more sleep!!  I know these things are impossible for a busy mom so hang in there.  Sometimes rewetting drops help as dryness can also be a trigger for twiches.  Unfortunately there is no "magic bullet"--good luck, and hang in there.
