Hidden Truth About Eye Twitching You Should Know

Eye twitching is something that has happened to almost everyone and since our parents couldn’t put a reason for it, they said that we are growing and our eyes are seeing a lot already which is why they are twitching. It was quite a lame excuse but as children we believed it. So many other people have reasons for eye twitching including spiritual ones and that is what we will be discussing.

You had too much caffeine or chocolate.

The caffeine in coffee or chocolate may cause hyper reaction of nerves around the eye area and cause eye twitching. Anything that stimulates your nervous system will dispose you to eye twitching. The moment you cut off on stimulants, you will notice a reduction on frequency of eye twitching.

High blood pressure.

Increase in your blood pressure also causes eye twitching since all your blood vessels are being over worked. You will feel the capillaries and the veins in your eyes trying to push blood therefore causing eye twitching.

You are not getting enough rest.

When you’re wiped out, your sympathetic nervous system, which controls a lot of your involuntary activities, kicks into high gear. And, as a result, your eyelid might start twitching. “For some reason it gets worse the more fatigued you are,” Dr. Zimmerman says. The easiest way to resolve it is by getting more sleep, she says, which may be easier said than done.
