Twitching eyelids

QuestionFor some strange reason my left eye (upper lid) has been twitching a lot lately. It's been happening for the last 2 weeks. What in the world would cause this irritating phenomenon?

AnswerI have encountered this symptom frequently among my patients. It is almost always stress-related. Often the person does not know the exact cause, or even recognize that they are in a stressful situation. I've also found that it is usually a chronic rather than an acute stress. Almost always it subsides after a time.
