my left eye keeps twitching

[vital]

It's been twitching the whole day. What is the cause of this and how do I make it stop?

You need more potassium.

 

[nageov3t]

don't worry, it's just the alien trying to break out.

it'll all be over soon.

It happens, usually because of stress. Get a good night's rest and it'll go away.

ahh.. my coworker said it was because someone is talking about me...

 

[Tiamat]

you need some rest and relaxation.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Get 10-12 hours of sleep. It will go away on its own.

I had one like this that lasted a few months. Went away on its own. It was annoying as shit, but at least it doesn't mean anything serious.

You are about to lose sight in that eye...sorry to hear that.

SARS

Eating a banana for more potassium will help though.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

i thought it was when your nose itched. Or maybe your nose itches when someone is just THINKING about you...not talking. maybe thats the difference.

Stress/caffeine induced. Over the summer I was drinking too much caffeine and my eye started twitching so I stopped drinking caffeine cold turkey. My left eye twitched involuntarily for the next two months. I then tried drinking caffeine and guess what? The twitch went away. The next week I stopped caffeine again and the twitching is back. I think I have a physical addiction to caffeine. Ah.

This happened to my outer left eye last week and it was SOOOOOO ANNOYING. It lasted for about 2 days because I was barely functioning on 4 hours of sleep a day.

During the weekend I crashed hard and slept 12 hours a day. Now it's gone, for now.

Lack of sleep.

* Corneal irritation or injury
* Stress
* Lack of sleep
* Fatigue
* Prolonged staring or eye strain
* Rosie O'Donnell
* Neurological disorders
* Possibly Hereditary

I used to get that all the time when I drove for a living ... with me it was caused by the 1000-yard stare down the highway for hours on end combined with not getting enough sleep for extended periods.

Three cases of Red Bull every day probably didn't help things.

Very true ... although red Bull didn't exist back then so it was coffee and/or Jolt cola!

Lay off the meth.
