Why does my right eye keep twitching?!
Question: Why does my right eye keep twitching!?
OK so pretty much this entire semester from January to May, my right eye has had a constant pattern of annoying twitching!. I think it may have been due to stress but it has been driving me crazy & now that my final exams are finally over (thank GOD!), it is still persisting! Can anyone pleeease help me stop the twitching!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It's generally due to stress and anxiety or being over-tired!. Your exams may be done but your body and mind are still in gear from school!. Try to ignore it the best you can and rest and relax!. It will stop!. Mine did the same thing for months; it was incredibly annoying!. But once I was well rested and somewhat stress free it stopped!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This is called myokymia!. Stress is a known causative factor!. Others, anecdotally, are lack of sleep, too much caffeine, low potassium!. Generally the condition is self-limiting, meaning it will resolve on its own, but it may take several months to do so!. An anecdotal treatment is to drink tonic water as the quinine in it may help reduce the twitch!. There really is no medical treatment!. Botulinum toxin is used only in the worst cases of blepharospasm which are violent, forceful blinks!. Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
Causes include: increase/decrease in caffeine intake, increase/decrease in sleep, and of course, stress!. One possible treatment is to try taking an oral antihistamine, like generic Zyrtec (it's not too expensive) which apparently has an effect on the receptors that make your eyes twitch!. If it is actually something that others can see and is noticable and persistent, see an opthalmologist and see if you can get Botox injections!.!.actually a treatment for lid twitch (blepharospasm)!. Hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, basically stress and fatigue so "cultivate a more relaxed lifestyle" is the right answer that's likely to get you hit if you say it smugly!. Reality doesn't always allow!.!.!.
In some people there is an association with marginally low potassium levels!. Try drinking fresh tomato juice or eating bananas!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mine does the same thing -except it's my left eye!.
I'm told it is stress-related!.
Mine's been doing it for several years, I'm sorry to say!. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop it other than to avoid stress - which hardly seems possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
