Why Is My Eye Twitching?
8. Dystonia
We don’t yet know what causes dystonia in most cases. From what we do know, it appears as though it is a problem related to the part of the brain that is responsible for muscle contractions. This part of the brain is known as the basal ganglia and the problem is thought to originate from the way our nerve cells communicate with each other.
The main symptom of dystonia is that the patients muscles will contract involuntarily. It can cause the whole body to twist, leaving the patient in unusual postures. It might affect only one muscle and it can also affect whole muscle groups, while it can also cause the patients eyes to twitch.
