Anyone Want To Weigh In On This One?

[Guest digmom1014]

Hi-

Since I am eliminating different foods to see what bothers me or not, I have developed a twitch in my upper eyelid. I never had this before, and I googled vitamin deficiency to see if I might need to take a supplement for the twitch. I got 3 different pieces of advice. Has anyone had this or can think what I might try and replace?

Thanks

Sinus pressure can also cause eye twitching. And IME removing foods you are allergic too can get the stuff backed up in the sinuses moving, and cause temporary twitching.

As you probably know a certain symptom may have a number of diff reasons. So best to look over your diet & life style to find what suits you best. A deficiency of B12 is one of the most obvious ones. A good B12 to take is in the form of methyl-cobalamin rather than the cheaper & more readily available cyano-cobalamin. The methyl form is normally only found in health food stores but it's preferable for anyone who might be deficient & will even work for those with pernicious anemia.

Another possible reason is low magnesium intake. You may find other muscles cramping a bit more too. If you think you need some, don't take Epsom salts or magnesium oxide as both (especially Epsom salts) is too laxative. Magnesium citrate is preferable.

Have you been drinking more coffee or pop that's high in caffeine? Increased caffeine can cause these eyelid twitches too as can stress or lack of sleep. I get them sometimes when I haven't slept well. Here's a bit more that might give you some ideas so you can target what yours may be from.
