Eye twitching while on Pre-Op - anyone else?

[Kushka 36]

I did search on this forum and on google. I don't think my new onset right eye twitching is from stress, so it could be lack of magnesium. I hate to add one more pill to my growing medicine list. Did anyone else else experience this?

No. The only times I have had an eye twitch was when I was under a great deal of stress.

@@Kushka - I have experienced eye-twitching, but only (as @@Inner Surfer Girl) when I'm terribly stressed out and very tired. Oh - and there's usually a computer monitor involved.

I would be interested to know if you find out what is causing it. Hope your twitch resolves!

I will keep you posted! It was much better this weekend. Maybe my eye twitching is stress-related as I have a lot to do at the office before I take my two weeks off for surgery. However, I did buy a magnesium/zinc/calcium Vitamin to supplement as well.

@@Kushka I can relate about having just a boat-load to do before going on leave.

Stress, not enough sleep, too much caffeine. It's called benign myokymia

It's stress.

Go for a walk then Get a massage

An sleep for like a weekend just go to the restroom & eat and go back to sleep. Most of all pray and leave it all in Gods hands he knew you b4 you were born He has your life written before you and He will carry you through just relax breath in for 10 sec and out for 10 sec and sleep. I was twitching a lot both eyes I had a panic/ anxiety attack really bad on the other side of town. I thought I was fine but my heart kept hurting and my eyes twitching. It was stress severe stress. I'm better after a massage/ lots of QT time w hubby/sleep sleep sleep I feel better but I am going to make it a priority to get away once a month and sleep and massage and hubby.

Thanks for the replies. One week to go before surgery. I leave for Mexico on Sunday. Feeling worried about this and that (work, not meeting surgery weight loss goal - four pounds to go, going under the knife, etc.), so that is great advice to pray, sleep, and get a massage. I am getting a facial on Wed.
