Title: Twitching eyelid for months and burping
Post by: Moonflower on January 27, 2021, 12:33:11 PM
Hi,

I'm wondering if twiching eyelid and burping are both symptoms of the menopause?? I wake up and burp frequently and then all day long.  They just seem to be dry burps.  I know dryness is and palpitations too and joint pain, all of which I get.

Hi Moonflower,
Can't comment on the burping.  But with regards to twitching eyelid.... Are you spending more time on the computer that normal, have you had your eyes testing recently?  I had this for a while and a certain amount was stress but also that my eyes had got worse and needed a stronger prescription, also eye drops help.

Hello and thanks for responding  :).  I guess I must be looking at the screen more especially in lockdown.  I notice it happens when I yawn too or when my blood flow is affected.  Maybe I should see an optician. I have been stressed too I guess following breaking my ankle, going into lockdown and then suffering menopause symptoms.  I just feel confused about all the symptoms I've been getting and suddenly feel 101 and I'm only 47.

You might be low on magnesium.  That often manifests as muscle twitches.

As for the burbling, I think that just getting older.  Men seem to get this later in life as well.
