Brief Answer: calcium & multvitamins supplements.investigation Detailed Answer: Hi, I went through the query and understood your concern. The twitching in the right eye, feel like cheeks want to sink in along with fingers cramping up and moving inward can be attributed to increased sensitivity of the nerves which supply those muscle groups. The causes can be: 1. Hypocalcemia - The most probable cause. Calcium is essential for nerve conduction & decreased level of calcium can cause such symptoms. 2. Stress & hyperventilation 3. Dietary deficiency of nutrients like Mg, Vit B6, Vit B12 & Folic acid, etc, 4. Peripheral neuropathy You are required to get investigated for hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, complete blood count & nerve conduction studies. This well be helpful. Your symptomatic relief will be obtained by intake of multi vitamins & calcium supplements. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult your Physician for a proper clinical examination. I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them. Wish you faster recovery and good health. Regards Regards
