Twitch In Eye, Headache, Tenderness On Nasal Bridge
Question: I have a twitch in my left eye that has been going on for a couple of days and now I am getting a headache coupled with a tender/bruised feeling on my nasal bridge.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Twitches are small, local, involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. These are mainly benign contractions and are seen due to electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B complex deficiency, anxiety and stress or mild hormonal disturbance. Since all your symptoms are mild, i would recommend you to take a mild pain killer like acetaminophen for headache. You can start with electrolyte XXXXXXX fluids like oralyte orally. Taking plenty of fluids orally and vitamin B complex supplements should help in resolving the symptoms over next 4-7 days.
In case the symptoms persist then consulting a physician to rule out any systemic disorders is advisable.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
