Consistent Eye Twitching. Not Under Stress. What Could It Be?

Posted on Fri, 14 Jun 2013

Question: Hi,

My left eye has been twitching since around December last year.
I went to see my doctor in march and they said not to worry about it unless other body parts started doing the same or it could possibly be a weak nerve ending in that eye.
It's now towards the end of may and it continues to twitch ALOT.

I know people say it could be stress but I've been in the same same job for over 5 years and it was much more stressful at the start then now.

Home life there is nothing that gas changed to trigger stress and I am happy.

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks, XXXXXXX

Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for sending your query to us.
Such twitching is usually a over charged conduction.Since this has been happening for a very long time ,some thing has to be done.
Calcium supplementation at times helps in such cases as it fecilitates nerve conduction.
use calcium tab. for about 15 days and you will start getting results.
Please do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
