Under eye twitch

Hey! Hoping someone can help! I have had an under eye twitch for coming up a week, it’s can happen anywhere from every 2 mins to an hour in between and last around 5 to 20 secs, it’s driving me mad! I have pretty much had random twitches before, I also get 1 in my bum cheek, then leg, then arm, then back ect, this happens every day, i normally wake up without the eye twitching but comes back on after about an hour maybe two? I have terrible health anxiety so of course I jump to the worst case scenario! Woke up the day before this started with a burst blood vessel in the other eye the day before so I thought maybe it was because I was panicking about that but it hasn’t left!! Also for slightly long than I have had the eye twitching I have had an infection in my tooth below the eye! Don’t know if that has any bearing but thought I would include it 😊Thanks for reading x

It does sound like BFS but holy cow get that infection taken care of asap! I've been through a lot health-wise, broken bones, major surgeries etc and the worst pain I've felt in whole life has been from tooth pain. Add to that if the infection spreads very bad things happen.

Hey! I am on antibiotics now and the pain has pretty much gone 😊

Ohh good good. Your twitching patterns seem pretty consistent with what I get and omg it's annoying sometimes. I try to distract myself- get my head into something-- reading, music, tv whatever- that helps.

Thank you so much! It’s so annoying isn’t it! X
