puslation under eye

by Susej, Oct 10, 2007 08:08PM
For the last two days I have noticed a pulsation under my left eye (where "bags" would be) .  It is not a twitch, it has a regular beat like a heart beat.  It doesn't hurt or do anything to my vision, but it looks wierd and I'm worried that it may be something serious.  

Has anyone had or know about this problem?

A twitch would not be unsual and the likely diagnosis is myokymia. However it should not be pulsating with your heart beat. Suggest you see an Eye MD for a prompt diagnosis. If it gets worse go to the emergency room.
