Twitching Eyelid / Eye?!


Question: I'm 24 weeks pregnant and i've had a constant eyelid twitch (well... usually more in the morning hours) for about 4 weeks now. I've heard it's lack of potasium and eating 1 banana a day helps. What other home remedy can you give me??

Try sleeping more. That happens to me when I don't get enough sleep, and when you're pregnant, your body is using a lot more energy than it would usually use. Just go to bed a little earlier, and it'll help.

A twitching eyelid is from eye strain. Stopping what you are doing (if it is close work) then spend a few minutes looking at things far away. By taking a break when this starts, you can stop it in a few minutes by changing your focus.

I get them all the time too....My doctor told me it is stress related. But didn't give any info on how to stop it

The remedy you were given (a banana) is what advice I'd give because that's what I've always been told...

There are a number of causes for twitching eyelids - I,m giving you a link.

If yours is due to lack of potassium eating a banana is the best way to rectify it. If you dont like bananas try avocados,nuts,seeds,dried fruit, tomatoes.potatoes and oranges.
