Does anyone get alot of twitching around the eyes? I think it might be just nerves, not sleeping good, or something to do with menopause-maybe all of the above. bingo1

Hi Bingo.......I do get twitching around the eyes occasionally....not often like I used to.  I always felt mine was stress and anxiety.  It certainly can be bothersome however.

Blessings and be well.

Hi Bingo...

I used to get a twitch under one of my eyes several years ago.  What I learned really surprised me.  The twitching went on for quite a long period of time before I decided to go to the doctor.  I went to a neurologist, and went through the works, including a brain scan.  He told me it was from stress, and there was nothing physically wrong.  I went to UCSF Medical Center, because I didn't believe him about the stress.  There they confirmed his opinion, after a battery of several more tests.  They told me that it was very common for this to happen to people who don't pay attention to their stress... your body will make you listen in physical ways.

I was beside myself, because this seemed so bizarre to me...I didn't particularly FEEL stressed, but, in retrospect, I know I was.  I was in a very dysfunctional, chaotic marriage.  I took Tegretol for awhile, which controlled it, but quit taking it.  It came back.  Another year or so passed and I left my husband.  The day I got on the plane and arrived at my destination was the last time I have ever seen that eye twitch.... that was almost 15 years ago.  

Amazing to me.  

My doctor says this could be from being low on calcium.  Wouldn't hurt to try a calcium supplement.

I used to get occasional eye twitching. Now that I am just 1 year without a period, the twitching has escalated. I get it in both eyes and up and down. Sometimes it feels totally out of control! I have talked to both my physician and eye doctor and both assure me nothing is wrong, but that is hard to believe when you are in the middle of it. Anyone else have these frequently?

Hi...I am the Queen of Eye Twitching! I had this for months, it almost drove me crazy. Not only one eye but both. I guess it was from not sleeping and stress..who wouldn't be stressed with this happening 24/7. It eventually did go away, but sometimes I feel an eye start up again. It seems I go through this every few months. I feel for you, it is the pits! Good Luck!
