My left eye keeps twitching?!


Question: My left eye keeps twitching!?
Not the actual eyeball, of course, but the muscle under the eye itself, the area most people know as the 'bags' area!. The twitch is very minor, most of the time unnoticeable by me, or that I'm just used to it!. Anyway, this has occurred practically nonstop for over five or so years!.

It's a very minor twitch, but it's noticeable at time and I'm wondering why this has been going on nonstop for several years!. If it were a short time, I'd think it was diet or lack of sleep (I eat very little, and work overnights AND days), but this occured when I ate well, slept well, and had very little stress!.

Any ideas!?
