Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr Dadapeer k an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of on and off twitching of the right upper eyelid with numbness on the right side of the face near the right eye.
These symptoms are usually seen because of stress, increased intake of caffeine and no need to worry much about them. Try to avoid stress and avoid intake of caffeine containing drinks like coffee, tea...

Stroke or ischemic attacks which precede the onset of stroke usually present with symptoms of numbness over entire half of the body, dizziness, transient loss of vision....
Since these symptoms suggestive of stroke are not present no need to be worried. I suggest you to take mutivitamin supplement tablets for symptomatic relief.
If by chance you develop any of the symptoms suggestive of stroke like dizziness, blurred vision or loss of vision you need to consult your physician doctor for evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
