What Causes Twitching Below The Eye?
Something right below my right eye Iin the eye bag area) has been twitching for several hours, and I don t know whether or not to be concerned. I don t seem to have any other symptoms - no headache, etc. - and as far as I can tell my vision is not affected. If I hadn t noticed it in the mirror this morning, I wouldn t be aware that it was happening; in other words, I can t feel anything. If it doesn t stop on its own soon, should I see a doctor? Could it be a sign of something serious?

twitching is a tickes. it is self limiting. some time it it is related to anxiety. so try to controll anxiety if present. yoga and meditation may help. there is no treatment as such to cure twitching. so noeed of consultation in due course of time it will go. it is not going to harm you. It is not sign of any serious disease.
