Eye Twitch

Post by planet planet »

My left eye has been twitching for the better part of a week. Am I going to die?

No, because if that caused death I would've been gone a long time ago.

I've heard it's a common tick when people are particularly tired or stressed. I had it yesterday after a particularly bad night of sleep.

Good article with an awesome .gif.

You should seek medical attention, because the twitching may put the onerous on the other eye which could cause headaches. Onerous.

I bet it's a cat allergy.

My eyes used to twitch every summer in Illinois. They don't here in AZ. So it's an allergy thing. Most likely feline related. You'll probably cut your life short by years if not decades as long as you're around cat dander.

No, but if it's accompanied by a high-pitched nervous giggle, you'll probably kill someone else.
