My eyelid has been twitching every 10 mins for the past 3 days. It's getting quite annoying.

Besides punching my eyeball what else could I do?

I see a lot of people suggesting potassium, and that's what I usually do, but for a while now, it turns out that I needed magnesium (helps relax the muscles). I'm not a doctor, so definitely check with a professional, but having some nuts like walnuts might be a good idea.

Many people go straight to recommending potassium, but magnesium is key for helping muscle contractions. Fortunately bananas are also rich in magnesium as well as potassium, so they may be helpful for more than one reason.

That's a great advice!
