Hi does anyone ever get a twitching lower eyelid which lasts for days/weeks?
My lower left eyelid has been twitching on and off for nearly two weeks. I had a full eye test on Monday and the optician said it was nothing to worry about and it will go away. Eye was slightly dry but he didn’t recommend eye drops.
Sometimes I can feel it twitching bug mostly only aware of it when I look closely.
I’ve been sleeping well, cut out caffeine for few days etc. Trying to relax and ignore it - but not easy when you are a worrier ! My period is due in next few days so maybe hormonal ? Or another weird perimenopause symptom?

Jaypo was yours continuous ? Did anything help ?

[Elliebee]

That’s reassuring. I need to stop focusing on it and hopefully it will go !!

I get that every few months and have had for many years. The longest it lasted was two weeks but is normally just a couple of days. One cause with me is stress but that it not always the case.

Annoying but nothing to worry about. Sometimes if I look out of my eye sidewards it will go.

Hi Timkerbell thank you . If I close my eye tight and hold for a few seconds the twitching stops then starts after a minute or so. I think it is stress, anxiety and too much screen time!

Hi
I get it on one eye, for me it is stress related, as it only ever happens when I'm stressed x

Hi hunni

Yes I get top lid eye twitching longest period was a month like you had plenty of sleep, no caffeine etc didn't feel particular stressed but found this very annoying as it would go on pretty much all day. Seems to have stopped for now

[Elliebee]

Thank you everyone. Reassuring I’m not alone. My twitch is still there. It seems worse in morning (I usually wake with the dreaded early morning nervous feeling in tummy)! Sometimes it stops during day and starts again in evening.
I am having a repeat blood test in couple of weeks for slightly raised TSH level so wondering if the twitch could be linked to thyroid problem?

I've had this too, it was driving me mad, lasted for about 2 weeks and then just stopped, it's very annoying xx

[Elliebee]

Cara99 I wish mine would stop😬

[Elliebee]

Hi Jaypo it certainly can ! I hate that feeling and now coupled with twitching eye it’s a double whammy

[Cara999]

Elibee hopefully it will stop soon xx

[Elliebee]

Eye still twitching 😬

[Elliebee]

Hi Jaypo I have already discussed with Gp who said it will settle and probably linked to anxiety and stress. I’m having blood tests this week to re- check thyroid function as slightly high before. GP has added B12 and calcium levels to checks .

Hi Poppytoast my left lower eye lid (bag area) does look slightly swollen. Definitely puffier than right eye.
