How do I stop an eye twitch? Could it be Blepharospasm?

---

So over the summer I have developed a twitch in my right eye. It could be the eye disease Blepharospasm but I recently had a cat scan (unrelated to Blepharospasm though) and everything was fine. If it isn't that, how can I treat it, and if it is how can I treat it?
Eye twitches and face twitches can be caused by a nerve that if you go to a chiropractor can releave this. My daughters eye began twitching she went to the chiropractor he adjusted her neck and it stopped.  (+ info)

Can you help me about last mediation of blepharospasm as an disorder movement and one type of dystonia?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your question, but benign blepharospasm (involunatry spasms of the muscles around the eyes) can be due to multiple factors. Stress is most common; many people experience blepharospasm on at least an occasional basis.
When severe, your eyes feel as if they operate like a camera lens taking a picture (your muscles feel and look like they are closing in around your eyes), and in the most severe cases you are not able to open your eyes during the spasms. In more severe cases, botox injections are used to treat the condition, as it works to paralyze the muscles, no longer allowing them to contract.
If the spasms are stress related, then environmental stress reduction should help you.
Blepharospasms are also fairly common in cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis, a neurological condition involving involuntary contraction of muscles in the neck area (and sometimes face).
As far as prescription meds, a doctor generally starts with more mild medications such as muscle relaxers, then moves to meds specific to movement disorders (i.e. meds for Parkinson's), and uses botox/chemical denervation later on if other treatments do not work.
I also echo the previous poster in the importance of speaking with your primary physician and/or neurologist if you are experiencing this.  (+ info)

why is benign essential blepharospasm so hard to diagnose and treat?

---

Because (in my non-professional opinion), blepharospasm can be due to so many different things, vitamin B deficiency, low blood sugar, or other transient causes, like stress, that it is very hard to distinguish from benign essential blepharospasm.  (+ info)

I suffer of blepharospasm and i would like know last method or pharmacy for this.?

I am 45 years old and in my country there is no remedy.many times I suffer of deppression especially low energy.Most of anti deppressant because of side effects Ican not use another problem is oversleeping.please help me as a case study.thanks
My guess is that you have checked on Google to see what they have to say ??

From what I read.....medications are of little help.

One artical mentioned that injections of Botox can imobilize some of the muscels that are doing the twitching...but that may not be available where you live.

One interesting thing seemed to be that....dry eyes....often seem cause the twitiching to begin.

Something as simple as artificil tears......which are just a form of dilute salt water.....might help ??

I know it sounds kind of silly, but keeping your eyes good and moist might be a simple thing to try ??

Drink less caffeine.
Lubricate your eyes with eye drops.

If twitching is severe, small injections of Botulinum toxin can temporarily cure the spasm  (+ info)

eye twiching or blepharospasm is everlasting problem?

Bless your heart. Usually Eye twitching is stress related. Good stress or bad stress. It makes no difference. Someone having stress at work, or someone having stress on vacation, even if it is fun, your body knows no difference. You need to do a few things that usually help most people. Take a multi vitamin. drink your 8 glasses of water a day. Eat your 5 fruits and veggies a day and get some good old fashioned sleep. Sleep depravation is another stressor that manifests it's self in twitches. Another stress reliever is to walk a couple of times around the block every day. I bet it clears up fast if you just slow down and take care of yourself. OK....can you tell I an a mom? LOL!  (+ info)

Blepharospasm problems?

Does anyone know how to stop Blepharospasm? Its just because its really been annoying me...

(If you don't know what Blepharospasm is, then please don't write anything).

Thanks :)
Btw, I'm a non- smoker and I don't drink coffee.

And I don't want Botox to stop it.
Blepharospasm, btw, is essentially eye twitching.
If you’ve ever experienced blepharospasm
, the involuntary twitch of the eye, you certainly want to know how to make your eye stopstopstop twitching. First off, don’t panic if you can help it, stress often leads to the condition, and greater anxiety may make it last for longer. Being able to relax, and ignore the twitching eye may help the eye to stop twitching sooner.

Most often, the eye twitches because of three common reasons. These are stress, fatigue or intake of caffeine. The condition usually lasts for a couple of days and then is gone. It is helpful during this time to try to get a good amount of rest, try to minimize stress and avoid caffeinated beverages.(there is caffene it most carbonated sodas) This can all help make the eye stopstopstop twitching more quickly.

If the whole eye is closing with the twitch, you should definitely see a doctor. They can easily diagnose conditions like pinkeye or corneal scratch. Treatment will make the eye stop twitching, usually within a few days.

Another reason to see the doctor for eye twitching is if the twitching lasts for more than two to three days. In fact, if the twitching keeps recurring, you may have chronic blepharospasm. The origin of this condition may not be diagnosed, but it can be treated.

Doctors may also prescribe different types of medications to make the eye stop twitching. These include benzodiazepines, what we commonly call muscle relaxants or tranquilizers, and some anti-convulsant medications like Tegratol. If the underlying cause is anxiety-based, they may make the eye stop twitching
Blepharospasm may also be a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium supplementation relieves most types of muscle spasm.
