Eye twitching ONLY when I blink??

I’ve been experiencing a weird phenomenon for the past 3 weeks now. Bascially whenever I blink tightly (like when sneezing / yawning), my right eye twitches for a few seconds when I open it. I can see my eyelashes moving and it feels odd. I’ve seen lots of people post about random / constant eye twitching but mine is definitely provoked by blinking tightly - it doesn't do it otherwise. Has anyone else ever had this or got to the bottom of what is causing it? Had all my bloods done and theh came back normal. I’m awaiting an MRI scan but I’m terrified it’s something sinister as it’s been going on for a while now 😦

    Too much caffeine, lack of sleep and over anxiety are the usual causes of eyelid spasms. As yours only happens when you provoke it in some way I dont think its serious.
