Explanation

Eye twitching, also known as eyelid myokymia, can happen due to stress or being tired. This is when the muscles around the eye twitch on their own. It is usually harmless and goes away by itself.

Possible Causes:

  • Stress and Fatigue: These are common reasons for eye twitching. When you are stressed or tired, your body might react by making your eye muscles twitch.
  • Eyelid Myokymia: This is a condition where the eyelid twitches. It is often linked to stress and fatigue but is not serious.

When to See a Doctor:

If the twitching does not stop or if it is causing other problems, it might be good to check with a doctor. They can make sure it is not something more serious.

Remember, if you are feeling very stressed or tired, it is important to take care of yourself. Getting enough rest and managing stress can help stop the twitching.
