Beyond the superstitions, eye twitching can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, and even more serious conditions like Bell's palsy and Tourette syndrome. Learn when to seek medical advice.
We've all heard the old wives' tale that a right eye twitch means you'll see someone you haven't seen in a while, while a left eye twitch means you'll see someone you don't want to see. But beyond superstitions, there are actual health reasons for eye twitching . According to the Cleveland Clinic, eye twitching involves uncontrollable movements of the eye, eyelid, or facial muscles around the eye. Common causes include anxiety, stress, exhaustion, lack of sleep, and stimulants like caffeine.
Healthline suggests that persistent eye twitching could be a symptom of more serious conditions, such as Bell's palsy, dystonia, or Tourette syndrome. If the twitching persists for more than a few days or is accompanied by other symptoms, it's advisable to see a doctor
