I have had twitching in my upper left eyelid now for about 2 weeks on and off, I'm at work at the moment and I'm starting to panic it's a stroke or something wrong with my brain, I keep feeling like my lips are twitching as well they feel little tingly but don't know whether this is because I am getting myself in a state!!!

Please anyone have this???

    Try and not worry. You are not having a stroke. I literally had an eye twitch for about 2 months a little while back. The most common cause of eye twitching is anxiety. The tingling will be because you are getting yourself worked up, usually happen if we start shallow breathing, so Try and relax and take deep breaths, get a drink of water and stay calm. you are fine huni it's just another of those annoying anxiety symptoms!!!

      Thank you, sometimes a little reassurance is just what's needed.

      I didn't realise there were so many horrible symptoms to anxiety.
