So doctor says the eye twitching is because of excess intake of the caffeine. Like say soda based pepsi or coke.. my consumption was daily and he also said these caffeinated foods cause blood pressure too.. And add to that there is also less than 8 hours of sleep.. It all contributed to eye twitching.. So its revealed now. How's your Wednesday going?

You have to sop the habit of drinking those pesticides. Yes, really they are, instead include, lemon water (made at home) or any fruit juice or vegetable juice (home made) or simply plain water in your daily intake.

@arunima25 That is the right thing you did it. Now they won't drink it any more. My elder son got some lectures on the same when he was in high school after that he too won't drink it.

So true! Pepsi is nothing but pesticide. I keep a big bottle to clean my tough stains in sink once a week. Now my daughters see what a good cleansing agent it is and stay away from it.

My body really could not tolerate too much caffeine. I always have side effects like palpitations and heartburn

@ginamel yes. I have now started going to gym and also focusing on breathing every morning before doing anything.. i got high blood pressure issue now... i guess we do things often that end up causing us lifetime trouble.

@skysnap you should have not ignored those because when experiencing that symptoms it is very difficult for us to breath. That is why I do not drink caffeineted drinks because I am afraid to end up not breathing anymore.

I think that sleep deprivation is also a big factor for that twitching since I am not a regular coffee drinker and soda as well but I admit to at many times could not sleep 8 hours everyday I have at times those twitching of my eye too.

Yes caffeine causes eye twitching if taken in excess. One of my friend suffered from constant twitching and doctor felt that it was due to her stress and insomnia. It's like a muscle spasm that happens when muscle is too tired or when there is electrolyte imbalance or blood pressure fluctuations. Take care. Sleep well.

I think I caused it through pepsi intake.. I had this habit of finishing 1 pepsi bottle entire day while lunch and dinner. I felt like I had to take it to get the food in .. so that habit affected sleep and now eye twitching.

@skysnap Oh! Pepsi is a really bad choice. It's quite harmful for health. You should try to get over it. Why you could not get your food in??
