View Full Version : Constant twitch in Eye bag area
Can anyone help please I have got a constant twitch in eye bag /eye socket area, this is continuous fluttering. I had it for a full week a couple of weeks ago, then it was intermittent and then stopped for a couple of weeks but it is back now constant. I am really, really worried about this and can’t work out what could be causing this. Anyone had this, please let me know. Thanks
Are you by any chance coming off of Gabapentin? Because that was one of my symptoms.
Yeah, loads of times, absolutely loads, once on and off for a year. I think a few times I've set it off by rubbing my eye or taking makeup off a bit roughly. Its only nerves and small muscles causing tiny spasms, and can be set off by stress, caffeine fatigue and just no known reason at all !
No not on medication but thank you for your reply
Was yours constant,?I have eye twitches before but never below the eye. I can’t feel it just see when I look in the mirror
how long did yours last and how did you get rid of it? Thank you for replying as I am getting really stressed about this
Has anyone else had this please.?Any advice or to know I am not on my own with this would really help with my anxiety
If I recall correctly, the only thing that helped was the hot water in the shower on my face. Actually, it still happens every now and again.
What do you mean by constant ? Literally every second of everyday ? No, there were gaps of a few minutes.

I've had this - in fact I had it the other day in my eyebrow randomly. It's usually my left eye. Very annoying but goes away as quickly as it started - comes back for me every so often and seems to be there for a few days then goes away again.
It's stress for me usually

Hey Solly, you are definitely NOT alone in this one. Back in 2018, I had a constant eye bag twitch for almost a week straight. It felt like it would never end but trust me, nothing is permanent. It could definitely get really annoying at times but it does go away. And like a couple months ago I had a bag twitch for like 4 days straight. Mine had to have been stress related.
Thank you all for your replies
it is constant, like a nerve twitching all the time, not like a normal eye twitch that comes and goes, and obviously below the eye, and that is what I can’t understand and what worries me.
can I ask for those who have had something like this was yours constant? Could it be anxiety or dry eyes do you think? I am now worrying that it could be the start of hemifacial spasm. Please respond as I am really struggling
Thank you for your reply. Was yours a constant twitch, what do you think caused it and how did you get rid of it?
No I mean constant no breaks!! What was yours like when you had it please
Please, please can anyone help me as I am so very worried about this eye bag twitch. It was constant for a week, and I mean constant, I used a hot compress on my eye and it went away for a couple of days but it is back again, the nerve jumps and then it just starts twitching without stopping. I am so scared it is the start of hemifacial spasm or something else serious. Please can anyone tell me they have had this. NOT an eye twit h but in the area under the eye. Anything, anybody please. Thank you all
....but.....it went away for a couple of days and then came back......doesn't that prove something ?
Sorry I am not sure what you mean. What are you thinking? I am worried about hemifacial spasm and not sure if that can be intermittent.
Well, if you did something like warm compresses and it improved, then that can happen (go away) again given the right conditions. I've just looked up the spasms you mentioned and they aren't dangerous or life-threatening anyway. From what I've just read, as an objective person and not a HA person, it affects other muscles and can 'screw up' / affect all one side of the face, not just a little tic under the eye ball area. There are many images of how people look with this condition.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I do have HA and I just don’t understand what this is as it is different from a normal eye twitch so this is why I am getting so worried about this and would love to understand if someone else had this and what the outcome was
Loads of people have had it, I told you myself that for a full year, on and off, I had it once. A search on here will show you just how common it is. Its nothing, its muscles and nerves being 'upset' (if you like, for want of a medical term). Stress, caffeine, tiredness, physical factors like squinting/pressing/bothering the area can cause it too. Yours has come and gone, and to be honest, it hasn't even been that long judging by the length of time some people have talked about this happening. You are imagining that your 'tic' is different to anybody else who has had it, it isn't, I'm sure.
I had it for a full week a couple of weeks ago, then it was intermittent and then stopped for a couple of weeks but it is back now constant.
Was yours constant in the eye bag area? Did it just go away and did you ever find out what caused it. Sorry so many questions. I have tried looking on this forum for same thing but I can only find eye twitching but not this symptom
Whilst it was happening, yes, it was constant. AS I said though, it came and went, just like yours. It was to the left of the lower part of my eye, just above the bone of the eye socket. YOu are really making far more of this than you need to.
Thank you again Carys. I really hope it goes soon.
