Ongoing eye twitch then eye hemorrhage?
by bobsgirl27, Oct 20, 2009 01:42PM
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.

You're dealing with two totally separate problems but both could be related possibly to hypertension possibly. I would avoid stimulants like caffeine, gets lots of rest, and see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
