Hello......Twitching of the eyelid is a normal phenomenon related to nervous system.It occurs when the person is under lot of stress or due to worry or work overload....but since you are having high blood pressure its better to consult a doctor as the pressure can cause damage related to facial nerves and eye nerves and avoid any kind of complications.
