See a doctor please, it's probably harmless but it could be a sign of an electrolyte imbalance or neurological disorder.  It could also just be stress or muscle tension,  get lots of sleep and eat a balanced diet.

This can sometimes be caused by eye fatigue or strain. In many cases, too much caffine or other stimulants can have the same result. Try cutting down to one pot of coffee a day, and taking quick 1-2 minute breaks from computer work every 20-30 minutes. There is also a medical condition, called Blepharospasms, that can cause involuntary eye muscle movement or twitching. Blepharospasms can be treated by Botox. Hope this helps!

Dr. Drew on LOve Line says that it is probably normal muscle spasms..........i have experienced this once or twice myself and , yes, it is weird! try massaging them a little when it happens.

The recurring eye twitch I was going to say could easily be a vitamin deficiency. But then I opened the question and read the details. That would be a little disconcerting. You know, it never hurts to go see your friendly neighborhood doctor and just have everything checked out occasionally. Oh I know the turn your head and cough bit is a tad uncomfortable too, but hey.........at least you don't have stirrups. Ok the point being....go see the doctor no matter what is going on in your head. And don't procrastinate because you are afraid of bad news. He'll probably tell you to start eating right and get more exercise. That feeds your brain more vitamin B and that just might take care of everything! So listen to those people that wrote above me. Make an appt. soon........but let us know how it goes.

EMS needs to be at a high enough intensity to create a tonic contraction.  Problem is that it is painful and uncomfortable and is very difficult to tolerate.  The machines sold on infomercials don't do much but cause a twitch. \n\nYou probably should consult a nutritionist and personal trainer.

The most probable causes are\n1) Sleep deprivation\n2) Lack of vitamins\n\nSleep deprivation causes eye strain, as they don't receive the rejuvination effects of 8 hours of rest.  This causes strain on the ciliary muscles, and causes twitching much in the same way that sprinters' legs can be seen to twitch from exhaustion after a big race.\n\nA lack of vitamins is also an issue that should be considered.  Vitamins and minerals are essential for the proper working and coordination of your body.  Amino acids, in particular, require certain compounds that the body cannot produce.  Amino acids are associated with protein, and therefore muscles.  Again, the ciliary muscles may not be properly maintained and result in twitching.\n\nTry having a few naps during the day, taking multivitamins, or eating a well-balanced diet.

Eye twitches are responses to either medication, some irritant or lack of rest. In severe cases there may be nerve problems or acute mental issues which must be diagnosed by a doctor. \n\nBe sure your eyes are clean. Get a full eight hours of sleep. If needed, take an antihistamine to help you rest. Upon waking, wash your eyes and after a few hours, if the twitching persists, see a doctor.

It is very common for muscles to twitch as they relax.  Her behavior does not sound extreme.  There should be nothing to worry about.  The link below discusses this.

If you are on meds, take them regularly. \n\nDon't watch any movies or documentaries on the subject. I'm not kidding, tics are catchy! It may sound crazy, but it's true. If you start watching someone with certain tics, you will start doing them yourself. I have had it happen to me and I have heard of it happening to others.\n\nTry not to think about it. I find when I think about my tourette's, I'll start ticing. But when I don't think about it, I can be ok for a while.\n\nIf you don't know about it already, there is the Tourette's Syndrome Association website. http://www.tsa-usa.org\nThey might have some helpful info too.\n\nGood luck, honey!\n\nEDIT:\nFor all of you uneducated people who seem to associate Tourette's with uncontrollable swearing...I'd like to inform you that you are thinking of something called "Coprolalia".  Most people with Tourette's do not have that. So before you go spewing any more idiotic comments, concider yourself informed and your ignorance is now inexcused.

Sometimes part of your eyelid may twitch for several minutes or hours. An involuntary twitching of a muscle is called Myokymia. Myokymia of the eyelid can occur with stress, lack of sleep or too much caffeine. Occasional twitching of an eyelid usually disappears by itself and does not indicate a serious problem unless it persists or extends to other parts of the face.\n\nIt is not serious and usually goes away with rest and proper nutrition.

Don't be overprotective of it.  Take baths with Epsom Salts.  When it starts to get better, do stretchign exercises.  Mostly chin tucks.  Make sure your the top 1/3 of your monitor is sitting at eye level.  Looking down, even slightly can cause major problems as the muscles tend to retract in spasm.\n\nAlso, take B vatamins, Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc.

ooh- i have that happen every now and then too. it tells you that you are being deprived of a certain mineral-Vitamin C, for instance. (that may not be it, but it very well could be). the only way to make it stop twitching is to get whole, hearty foods for the next couple of days, making sure to get all of your vitamins and minerals in.

Eyelid twitches/spasms are generally caused by muscle fatigue.  It may be due to eye strain from such conditions as poor lighting, lack of sleep, undiagnosed vision problem or a need for a new lens prescription.  Potassium, as in bananas, is a better treatment for muscle spasms (and cramping) than calcium because while calcium helps regulate muscle contraction, potassium helps regulate both muscle contraction AND muscle excitability.

A whole lot of direct stimulation is usually too much to handle (my legs start to twitch, don't know if that's a common thing though).  Definitely build up a lot of anticipation, and when she's really begging for it, try a nice, slowwww....oh god I think I need to stop typing now.

Bet you physically jump when startled, too, don't you? I used to do it. Type A personality, very tense, jumpy, rattled easily, emotional? The only thing that worked was slowing down my metabolism, extra Vit. B compounds, and anti-depressants. Recently I started taking a new cholesterol med and the jumpy and shaking the leg is back. I will be asking for a change in meds but you could cut back on sugar, caffeine, nicotine, and find lots of activity to keep you moving, until you can start to get your sleep regularly. Continue to pay attention to what your body is telling you, try to slow down (take longer to eat, walk slower, dress slower), anything you can slow down enough and long enough for it to become a habit. Sorry, but the cure truly is a long hard road, and you'll probable get there when you get old anyway.
