Question 1

hi, i am having eyelid twitching and one of my eyes are lower than the other. im also having double vision, but that only lasts for a couple of seconds. im scared please help?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably and ophthalmologist. 
Wish you good health!

Question 2

does  extreme anger cause eye or eyelid twitching?

Accepted Answer

Possible.: Twitches of the eyelids are a very common symptom. The most common cause is stress, often in association with sleep deprivation and other factors such as caffeine intake. Anger is essentially a different type of stress for the body. There are also some neurological conditions that can cause eyelid twitching. If your symptoms persist or worsen, discuss them with your doctor.

Question 3

why does my top left eye twitch and now my bottom left lip twitching?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: Twitching of the small muscles of the face is common, but rarely pathologic.  This finding is most commonly associated with fatigue, overuse or other forms of stress.  I would not be surprised if you are working long hours on something and not getting enough sleep.  You can use B complex vitamins which some believe help with this symptom, but I suggest plenty of sleep and relaxation- be well!

Question 4

fluttering/twitching in upper left abdomen. no pain, similar to an eye twitch. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Cramps and vibration: The feelings of twitching is usually caused by small muscle contractions and relaxations just as in the eye.   Often too small to see.  That is very similar to a cramp which is the same thing but it keeps recruiting other muscle cells to contract and not relax.   Try stretching your arms over your head and take deep breaths to stretch it out.  You probably had minor injury which will heal.

Question 5

i had one upper eyelid twitching for the past few days, it stopped yesterday but now today my eye is blurry and burning. what could be the possible cause?

Accepted Answer

: You should see your eye doctor because this could be an eye infection. The twitching could have been a sign of inflammation or irritation, both of which can happen with an infection. Now, with blurry vision and burning, an infection or irritation could indeed be present. So, see your eye doctor to evaluate your eye. Good luck!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

You : You most likely have myokymia.  Very common and typically not serious, but annoying and distracting as you describe.  Triggers that can bring it on include; caffeine, lack of sleep and stress.  In other words, life!  in all seriousness, it is usually nothing to worry about.  Usually comes and goes on its own.  If you develop other symptoms or the twitching becomes significantly more frequent or constant, please visit your doctor for a check up.

Question 7

can extreme anger cause eye blinking or eyelid twitching?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You are describing myokymia - an involuntary twitching of the skin around the eyelids. It's believed to be related to lack of sleep, stress, and caffeine use. Change these risk factors and it should abate.

Question 8

is it normal for someone with an eye injury to have eyelid twitching?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid twitching: Eyelid twitching occurs when any issue causes ocular surface irritation.  It is a protective mechanism and will continue until the eye irritation is gone.  Try using frequent artificial tears to lubricate the eye and see if the twitching improves.

Question 9

one week ago i developed an upper eyelid twitching (left eye only). i have no other symptoms. it comes and goes. can it be sth serious, like ms? help

Accepted Answer

Myokymia: Eyelid twitching, or myokymia, is a benign but annoying condition.  Reducing your stress and reducing caffeine intake make help.  It is not serious.

Question 10

difference between myokymia and eye twitch or are they the same thing? left upper eyelid twitching over the past month (also have widespread twitches random times place etc) but intermittent not constant some days here others not?? help!! thanks?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests.  Try to drink more fruit juice, in case the symptoms are due to electrolyte balance. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a neurologist. 
Wish you good health!
