Left eye twitching

So for about a week now every few minutes my left eye will start twitching on the bottom eyelid I've had this happen here and there in the past but not for a week long I talked to my naturopath about it and she said it's possibly stressed caffeine or fatigue related I'm not overly stressed I don't take any medications I do drink caffeine and have lowered my intake the last couple days and I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough sleep my concern is about it lasting a week and it's kind of annoying to have it keep happening I'm wondering if there's any extra steps I need to take or it may be something more serious the only other change that has happened is that I started seeing a chiropractor

Do a search and read about 'myokymia'  If you have an ophthalmologist or optometrist and it persists more thatn several weeks go in for exam. Generally it is benign, temporary and extremely common
