TWITCHING EYE:
Twitches are common and very rarely a sign of anything serious. They often go away on their own, but see your healthcare professional if a twitch lasts more than 2 weeks.

Twitches are usually nothing to worry about. Most people get twitches from time to time. They're often linked to:

• Stress and anxiety
• Tiredness and exhaustion
• Drinking caffeine or alcohol
• Some medicines – check the side effects on the packet or leaflet

They can affect any part of the body. Twitches in the eyes or legs are particularly common. You may also have tingling or cramps (spasms) in the same area.

HOT COMPRESS AND MASSAGE:
I was actually informed about this from a GP colleague of mine in practice and this is to apply a warm compress to the affected eye to help relax the muscle. And to be honest with you I’ve had some really good feedback from patients who try this.

If you’re wondering how to do a warm compress its really simple just soak a clean washcloth or flannel with hot water. Ring it out make sure it’s not too hot cause you don't want to burn yourself then place on the affected eye and as it cools you can rewet it and do the process again.

8In terms of how long and how often to do it because I’m sure a lot of people will ask this question. Obviously if the eye twitch goes great you don’t need to continue doing it but if stays try doing it a couple of times a day when it’s convenient for you because that’s the most important thing.

A gentle massage of the area can either be done after the warm compress or even without it throughout the day. And it involves a gentle massage of the area with your finger. Please however be gentle and wash your hands thoroughly before doing it as the last thing you want is for any germs to get in the eye cause you an eye infection while having a twitchy eye.

MONITORING CAFFEINE AND ALCHOHOL INTAKE:
Monitor your caffeine and alcohol intake, too much of it can cause eye twitches and I know it’s easier said than done but just have a little think to yourself or keep a log on your phone. As mentioned in the video here are the links to the calculators which you can use to check you are in the safe limit,

HOW TO REDUCE STRESS AND RELAX MORE:
Feeling stressed? If the answer is yes, you're not alone. Stress is the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure, and pressure turns into stress when you feel unable to cope.

A bit of stress is normal and can help push you to do something new or difficult, but too much stress can take its toll. Lots of things can cause stress, including work, relationships and money problems. Stress can affect how you feel, think, behave and how your body works – from how well you sleep to your immune system. In the short-term that's not really a bad thing, but long-term stress puts your health at risk.

WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE FOR AN EYE TWITCH:
• You have a twitch for more than 2 weeks
• You have a twitch in more than 1 place
• The affected area feels weak
• You think a prescribed medicine might be causing your twitch

Eye twitching in some cultures is seen as a sign that you could expect guest coming home or something bad is going to happen so be alert 😅

Me: a student studying on my computer 12hrs a day, chugging coffee, sleep deprived, stressed, dry eyes because of contacts and wondering why my eye has been twitching for a week "👁"👄👁

[iateabee]

My eyes twitch every time I’m stressed/having an anxiety attack, it’s annoying

[neoepicurean]

For all you twitchers out there... I had a twitch in my left eye for 2 years... no apparent reason, doctors couldn't help, had eye tests and all good etc. Then one day it just stopped, and now I've been twitch free for the whole of this year. I didn't change anything, still drink same amount of caffeine, stare at a screen the same amount or more. Just one of those things...

[kulak]

What has helped me is simply closing the affected eye and covering it with my hand to block out any light. I think this is helping the eye to relax.

[TashBoo]

I've had eye twitching for some days now and it's really annoying. I tried massaging my eye and it worked...thanks for the help I appreciate it

[karthikakaral]

You've no idea how much I appreciate your videos! the bloopers were so much fun to watch as well :D
I started a WFM job and I have to stare at the screen for over 8h and then the smaller screens or so. I recently started Yoga too :D Yoga's fantastic - simple and powerful! Thanks for the vid :)

I just ran to the bathroom, ran a washcloth under hot water and put it on my left eye, which has been twitching for about six days now. The cloth felt wonderful. I hope it relaxes my eyelid over time. Thank you. I like this advice better than "Take potassium" or "Take magnesium" etc.

[StreetDrilla]

My eye is twitching, i get good enough sleep, i dont drink coffee, im not stressed (the eye twitch is making me stressed a bit) and i just began limiting my screen time. Not going away.

[Smitty_]

Massaging and a warm cloth helped me more than ever. Thank you

[bakingbread]

God is on my side my eyelid has been twitching this whole day

[CinemaDoll]

My upper eyelid twitching started during my last term of nursing school, stopped shortly afterwards, and resumed the FIRST week of being an RN. It's been 2 months and it won't stop 😭. I've spoken to an ophthalmologist who says he dealt with the same thing in school.

[ughweird]

Eye twitching is normal And common and nothing to worry about but It's VERY uncomfortable

[damned_]

Perfect timing for this video as I’ve had a few days of maddening eye twitching. Earlier I did put a warm tea bag on it for a few minutes, so soothing/calming. I’m wondering if it’s most common in the right eye? Thank you! 🥹🫶🏽

[chesagrant]

it is also good to just relax the eyes in general with the warm cloth

[kimaosalail]

I have been experiencing eye twitching over two weeks now.. Haven't seen a Doctor yet. but thanks for your video, you gave me some ideas how to get rid of eye twitching.. thankyou

[avi]

My eye was twitching like for whole day it was so frustrating thx for this sir

[cantevenfear]

My eyes have been twitching for 8 months, anyone else have it for a long time ?

[SBGames]

My left eyelid has been twitching for well over a year. I can trigger it manually by tapping my head near my eye. I think it might be a nerve issue or severely built up stress. Or maybe all of those all-nighters in college...
