What Causes Eye Twitching?

Can a blocked sinus cause eye twitching on one side? My right eye has been twitching for 3 days. at the same time, i have had a sinus headache. (My daughter and husband currently have sinus infections for which they are taking antibiotics). I have never had eye twitching that persists for more than an hour or two.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye twitching.
Eye twitching is a common complaint and is seen in stress or in increased intake of caffeine containing drinks.
It can be because of stress related to sinus related headache.
The treatment is by treatment of the predisposing factors like stress and the associated infections.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
