by Southwestern Eye Center
• Eyelid Twitching: Caus...
Any involuntary movement or spasm of the eyelid muscles is termed an "eyelid twitch." The eyelid will typically close, all or part of the way, then reopen and repeat the process in very rapid succession. The most common causes of this ailment are fatigue, stress and occasionally overuse of caffeine. Twitching will normally continue for 1-2 days but usually disappear without any further treatment.

Sarcastic Us 6 years damn fking hell
Thank you for this video!!! I've been freaking out for the past week, thinking the worse. I am stressed, overworked and lacking sleep
Thanks for sharing! I went back to school fulltime, drink a lot of caffeine and so that's exactly what's probably going on. I appreciate physicians like yourself who go to the trouble to help people by posting info like this.
Thank you for relieving my anxiety over this issue!
My left eyelid has been twitching a lot every day for the past four days. Besides stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine - I'd have to add that crying a lot off and on for four days has been the main reason why my left eye has been twitching every day this week. When friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, family members, or just people in general have said or done some things that have caused a person to cry - then all the crying leads to eyelid twitching. So, I would add crying to your list for reasons for eyelid twitching.
Same bro
Doctor: caffeine cut that out..
Me : listening, nodding and sipping my 4th coffee for the day
as soon as he said caffeine, i looked at my redbull hahaha
joel easton lol
joel easton i thought soda was bad enough 😂
i looked at my monsters😀 and when he said sleep i was liek” BRUH I DONT SLEEP AT ALL” like 😀
Yup i looked at my coffee like noooooo
as soon as he said chocolate, i looked at my chocolate bar hahaha
You are honestly amazing doc. Just by watching this video it got reduced honstly almost to none! You should make a longer video talkikg about you because you know how to get to people braines! I really thank you and hope you make another video about it
I m suffering with this issue n got the solution from this video as the use of caffeine was the root cause of this problem hence glad to see the solution here thanks for uploading the video keep up the good work
My left lower eyelid has been twiching ever since I woke up this morning. It stops for a little while and starts back up again. It's making my eye water. I can trigger it by squinting. I can temporarily stop it by pulling down my eyelid slightly.
Funny how I am watching this video with an eye lid twitching, after waking up 6 am to study for my board exam while drinking my 2/3 of a L coffee.
Hahaha Exam stress and caffeine same here
Me too... but really who else would be watching this? Lol
I took this Botox treatment for tow years and did find relief but not with out its side effects.
Side Effects : When tired eyes lids simply close involuntarily - one literally needs to hold eye lids open with a finger when tired. When Blepharospasm is intense the eye lid begins to sag and close partially and you don't have control over this. These effects lowered my confidence to the point where I discontinued the treatment. I eventually tried discontinuing all coffee and sugar in tate, The lack of caffeen and sugar improved my symptoms by 70 % but it is very hard to say no to a cup of coffee every few days ☺but it can be done and you will see the value in that after 7 days.
I love his attitude! Thank you! I have had this left uppteye twitching for 2 months on and off
It felt like you were talking directly to me. As a product Designer obsessed with creativity i usually get carried away and work late into the night hence getting little sleep, i drink lots of coca cola (caffeine), i eat chocolate every Sunday, and i generally get stressed thinking about what my future holds.
And when my right eyelid began twitching teo days ago i swear i thought it was some kind of cerebral damage or something. Thanks a lot for this video
unlike the others he really helped me calm down.thanks.
Here i am thinking im gonna have a stroke its been twitching once every few min for a whole day abd its happened plenty of random times but not that frequent.
I haven't been sleeping so ive drank 3 pots of coffee yesterday and today. This video helped calm my anxiety cuz i have crazy shit that goes on in my head i.e. worrying about medical issues and speculating. I usually try to stay away from searching things on the internet because i will spiral into a panic attack, but i figured searching this on youtube was better, and because the twitching was happening so frequently, i needed to know if it was a sign of things to come
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SEEM LIKE A GREAT DOC.
Left eye: **exists**
Left lower eyelid twitch: *im about to end this mans whole career*
Solum LMAO
Watch Dr Bergs video on eyelid twitch.
😂
I have been having lack of sleep lately, and that is a cause.
I've also been a bit stressed.
Explains a bit.
Thaank you so much I like your personality in the video and I'm relaxing. Stopped the caffeine/tea intake and took a long long sleep and the next day; I only twitch few times, a lot less than lately. I work in front of a computer a lot so when I twitch, I close my eyes in relaxation and do few deep breaths and tell myself in a mental whispery note, "reeelax" and imagine the ocean :)
Not sure if this is true but maybe you need some eye drops to keep your eye wet or something. Like i said not sure lol
Fiorella Cornejo lay off the booze lady.!!
I've had mine for over a month now and it's driving me crazy
Have you figured out a solution? Mine's been persistent for this long too :(
e aha infant its doing it again now lol. I think mine may be due to stress as im going back to uni soon. maybe yours is to?
+Hayley Robinson ΜΕ Τοο!!!
ι wonder if it's something serious ...
i cant find out what causes it...
maybe its vitamin D?
nikos t I think mine is due to stress and probably too much or too little sleep x
i have a little bit stress and i can't get enough of sleep...
But also i'm vegetarian and i think maybe i don't eat enough of bananas or something...
in another video i've read when you don't get enough of some nutrient you get that.
or when you get too much caffeine..
But i don't drink coffee..
only black masala chai..
maybe thats it or the nutrients.
my upper lip in the center has been twitching non stop for days now. what should I do
About 3 weeks ago one of my eyes started twitching. The past week it's stop twitching, but when I blink it wants to stay down somewhat, and feels droopy. Is this a similar symptom?
I wish this guy was my doctor. He's so relaxed!
I was involved in an automobile accident, rearended. I dont know if this has something to do with it. It began about a month and a half after that
oh my gosh, i feel so much better now, thank you doctor
In some African countries people believe that if the top eyelid is twitching you will have good luck and if its the bottom eyelid then something bad will happen. In reality there is nothing good about an eye twitch, its just really irritating.
Nope didn't win the lottery
It's been 5 years, still no luck, you lied to me!
@@gustlightfall hahahaha
A year ago I was diagnosed with bell's palsy. Half of my face became paralyzed and it began with simple continuous eye twitching. What can I do to avoid it happening again, what you recommended in this video!?!?!? It sucks and it can become depressing having half of your face paralyzed.
Wow. This is exactly what I needed to hear!! Thanks. My right eye just started today! Sucks. It's bothering me. But I also drink alot of caffeine and dealing with the computer screen. I've got to reset for sure.
Thank you so much I feel more calm now because it has been twitching for two eyes. I have had lot of crying, stress and not enough sleep. I was worried I will not worry anymore.
What about upper lip twitching? plz reply
Ask Elvis
@@MikeG-js1jt lmao
Herpes maybe?
I was hit in the eye 2 weeks ago by a rolled up newspaper. I got my eye checked and it was perfectly fine. However my eyelid feels weird and whenever I blink I feel some sort of jam in my eyelids. Nothing is in my eye but when the newspaper hit me it went into my bottom eyelid. I though the problem would go away eventually but it's been 2 weeks and no improvement has been made. Can anyone help me out or suggest a possible diagnoses?
Thanks, I got really worried when my bottom eye lid starting twitching thanks for the advice
It's getting old. I don't drink coffee, don't consume sugar or grains, I'm not even working now, so zero stress in my life. Yet, my left eyelid twitches so much. It twitches more when I have leg cramps, so I wonder if it could be related?
I do high intensity workouts, cold showers and drink alot of coffee. 3 days ago my left eye started twitching, now its not happening as frequently as it was in first day since I took a break from all that.
Is twitching where you can help it but it just feels good to do it or you feel tempted to do it
Very helpful information , thank you.
what if your constantly blinking whenever u try to read for your classes...boy i dont know what to do...and its really annoying me
Hi , i have a problem on last 1 year. My eye lid is out of my control. It automatic sut down.

My lower and upper eye lide on my right eye has been twitching for the past month maybe given I am very stressed out and don't get as much sleep for food as I should but it's really bothering me
What if I had injury to the eye nerve branch causing ptosis 2 months later my eye twitching should I be worried
is it true that eyelid twitching can also be due to lack of mangnesium
I sometimes have pain above my eyes and behind them. Is this a sinus thing I get scared because I sometimes have vertigo of a morning. I wonder if it's fluid or sinus?
Thank you for your info and assurance.

Same...my left upper lid twitches on and off for about 5 days now...maybe stress?? Mom just passed away so maybe my worries and sadness? Hope it stopssss
I never thought I'd get this, I, in fact work at one of the busiest starbucks in my town and I just started having this problem with my lower left eyelid for about a month now. It's nonstop twitching. I pretty much feel burned out. I haven't had an actual vacation and I also didn't consider the amount of green and black tea I take during work. It's a bunch of caffeine. This is so annoying! I also usually get about five-six hours night's sleep since I work morning shifts. I've actually realized this job is really wearing me off, I might think of taking a long break or quit soon.
Well, i don't drink coffee or anything with caffeine, i sleep 7-8 hours daily. But my eyelid is twiching since a year on daily basis... Any idea why?
why is it when i took a bath my eyes at the lower started to twitch?
My inner socket eye vain have been pulsating for one year continuously .Due to it i can't sleep without pills. Doctor said it is because of stress.please please answer me what is remedy of it
Thank u dear doctor 🙏❤️
my lower right eye lid twitching really bad i like the vid most ppl make me freak out and get scared but is it the same for the lower eye lid please respond
My lower left eyelid has been twitching non-stop for 3 weeks straight.
I've tried everything on Google expect the get more sleep thing, because that's impossible.
Hot compress, eye drops, no caffeine. I think it could even be caffeine withdrawal as I cut caffeine out all together recently.
The only thing I'm doing different when it started is taking magnesium. I figured the twitching was my magnesium deficient body adjusting to it, but there's no way it'd be lasting this long. It's really getting irratating and it's very noticeable.
Was it ever resolved? What happened?
@@elenchusexperience1493 im so invested right now
Did it eventually go away? I’m dealing with this now too and exactly like you mentioned, I started taking magnesium supplements shortly before this started happening.
I thought I'm going to be blind. Phew. Thanks for this video. I'm getting stressed and anxious lately.
I also thought like this
Thank you doc I feel nice now. I just kept smiling and it stopped.
Thank you so much ...wow what a relief .God bless you
Sir plz help me my right eye twitching since last two years.first time when I get pergennent this time my BP very high and start my eyes switching plz give a medicio I feel very shy my office colleuge.
Whenever my eyelid twitches something very bad happens to me. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. This is why I got so afraid when my eyelid twitches.
My eye has been twitching non stop for 9 years
I don’t drink coffee I get enough sleep I eat healthy
Im not stressed at all. I told this to my ophthalmologist and she doesn’t seem to know why
me too.
When he said don't worry you'll be okay. I felt so good
Thank you so much!!!😃 love you channel😍
My eye stopped twiching when he said you need to RELAX! Thank you
Stress does it for me. My daughters best friend ran away two nights ago and I was a wreck while we were looking for her. My eye started twitching immediately after they called me with the news but even though she’s home safe now it won’t stop twitching. Probably because I’m not sleeping well now so if I can relax and get some good rest I’ll be a happy camper. The night she ran away we had a birthday party, I drank excess sweet tea, had a Pepsi and my daughter made 12 dozen chocolate chip cookies and I pilfered a few. I bet none of that helped. 😒😏
How long does the botox last for?
Anyone know the medications to stop my eyes are continiously blinking it’s so annoying and I feel like I look like a weirdo I want it fixed
How can I sleep when my neighbor dogs won't stop barking. they have alot of them and they won’t stop 24 7 for a while now someone please send help
My right eyelid is always jumping like crazy.....I don't consume any caffeinated beverages ...maybe I'm not getting enough sleep....it's getting out of hand....sometimes both eyelids twitch at the same time...freaking me out
I have lower lid twitch and i have an ophthalmology exam next 2days how do i relaxe😭
Mine twitch from allergies. Surprised this doctor didn't mention that as another cause. Highly recommend Alaway allergy eye drops! You can get them pretty much anywhere, Walgreens/CVS, Walmart, etc.
My eye feels dry and it keeps twitching I quit caffeine and stuff it's hard to sleep idk I have bad anxiety and depression and I'm going crazy
