Hi Shaggyowen,

Your ok, your not going to die, you have been sitting for hours playing computer games, this is what is causing your pain just now. Try and relax and stay away from the computer. Staring at a computer screen for long periods of time is not good for you. You will be ok. Take care x

Hi

It's because your focusing on it, you don't realise your doing it, but you will be causing the pain by worrying, this will be causing tension, hence the pain. Yoiu will be ok, i promise x

i've had this many times after playing computer games for hours on end... i also experienced twitching in my eyes and face muscles... i was so scared i was going to have a fit or die... but it didn't happen. this caused me to take breaks between playing games, every hour i think you're supposed to take a 10 minute break, so maybe have a drink and just rest your eyes for a little while before continuing.

hope you're feeling better, try and sleep more, it might be that you're just tired!! my vision is messed up right now because all i do is sit on my laptop all day or watch tv and then go to bed and repeat this routine every single day of the week!! it's a habit i need to break out of!
