eye twitching

by 1barney, Dec 02, 2008 11:06AM

I have been experiencing twitching under my right eye for approximately one week. Sometimes my left eye is affected but it is primarily my right eye. I do not believe I have been under any extreme amounts of stress or fatigue as I have read can be possible causes. I work out on a regular basis and am watch what foods I eat. I also have not suffered any head injuries.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Search the term "myokymia" and look in archives.
