Eye twitch with eye hemorrhage?

by bobsgirl27, Oct 20, 2009 01:20PM
Hello,

A few days ago, as I was cooking, my right eye/cheek twitched violently and then stopped. Hours later I developed a twitch in my left eye. I've had this twitch for four days now, and I now also have a subconjunctival hemorrhage in the same eye.

I know that an eye twitch is not a problem in and of itself, but should I worry that I now have the hemorrhage also?

I have slightly high blood pressure, if that makes a difference.

Thank you very much.

HIgh blood pressure rarely causes a subconjunctival hemorrhage or twitching.  See an ophthalmologist.  There are rare neurological causes of twitching.
