Anyway, to my surprise, there were actually A LOT and A LOT of people who wondered the same questions as me! In particular I found this blog about eye twitching which was written 6 years ago, but the blog post just kept growing even up to now, people are still making comments on it!!! Interestingly it doesn't offers any cures or even scientific explanations on the matter, but it just so happened to be one of the first few search results returned by Google! It's truly amazing tho to see how so many people share the same pain of eye twitching!!! lol but it's true, so true!!! This blog posts actually already has over 2000 of blog posts where people just want to share their unberable pain to others!!! : O

It's defintely one fascinating topic!!! : P
ps - It was lucky that it only lasted a week or two for me!!!
pps - In Chinese myth, it was said that 'left eye' means 'bad will happen'! : O
ppps - Apparently eyelid twitching is due to fatigue, stress and pressure (bingo! for me!!!)....but not sure how correct this fact is tho!

I had similar problem - my "bottom lid" of left eye had twitches for about a year - it stopped before I came here, and I am still not sure what caused it... :P
ReplyDeleteVarious Possible Medical Causes For Unusual Eyelid Twitching / Eye Blinking
ReplyDeleteWell, in terms of medical explanations, under usual and non-congenital circumstances, the annoying eye twitch would normally be caused by the not so serious factors as follows : -
# Stress
# Tiredness
# Eyestrain
# Caffeine
# Alcohol
# Dry eyes
# Nutritional imbalances
# Allergies
Next, under such situations, such annoying symptoms would usually come and go within a very short period of time and certainly the conditions would get better and better from time to time especially when certain related treatments are sought and administered to deal with the symptom.
However, under rare circumstances when the eye twitch symptom just get progressively and chronically and seriously unmitigated from bad to worse as well as seem to last permanently even when all sorts of related treatments are adminstered upon such illness to deal with it, such non-stop eye twitching symptom may then simply just manifest as one of the serious neuromuscular / neurological symptoms of :
# Tardive Dyskinesia (rapid involuntary uncontrollable eye blinking / eye twitching), which in most cases are caused by the neuromuscular / neurological side effects of certain powerful mind-altering medications and other neurological complications. Whilst the underlying mechanism of such a disease is such that the normal functionings of the neurotransmitters chemical dopamine which co-ordinates the miscellaneous human body movements in this case are disturbed, antagonized and disrupted in this case resulting in one's loss of control of human body movements, and in this case, one's eye / eyelids organ.

ReplyDeleteSorry Smita, I'm no expert in this, but sounds like a visit to the doc is wise. Hopefully your eyelid is all fine now! Best wishes!
