What Causes Twitching Above Eye And Pain In Left Temple?
Hello,
I'm starting to have a little twitching above my right eye and small jolts of pain in my left temple. The pain is mild only happens about every other hour, but the twitching is annoying and hits like may once every 30 minutes or once every hour. Just curious.
Thanks

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having twitching of the eyes and pain in temple.
The cause for twitching is because of contractions of orbicular is oculi as a result of irritation of facial nerve.
Hence some local inflammation as indicated by pain in the temple may be the cause for twitching.
Hence do consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
