Should I Be Worried As My Eye Is Twitching?

Okay, so last night, I bit my head pretty hard on the ice in the street. I didn't pass out, but it hurt like a bitch. And I noticed later that night that my eye is twitching. I went to sleep, woke up,
And my eye is still twitching. Is this something should be worried about...?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye lid twitching. Eye lid twitching is common and it seen in conditions like stress, lack of sleep, over use of caffeine.
Since you are having twitching following injury this may indicate irritation of facial nerve following trauma and needs evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
