I can't work out if I'm being ridiculous but over the last week I have noticed my 4yo has started with a sort of eye tic.
The reason I am concerned is whether this could actually be some sort of focal seizure.
Basically over the last week or so whenever he has been feeling a particularly high emotion (often excitement or anger), his right eye and eyebrow (always the right) will sort of roll upwards and for a few seconds twitch like a spasm. It literally lasts for a matter of seconds, a sort of blink and you'd miss it thing and he seems completely fine in himself.
I am questioning myself as to whether he is just doing it deliberately to show his excitement or whether it's involuntary. Particularly as I clocked him doing it when he was angry too so it's not solely an excitement response, more just any strong emotion.
It seems to have developed just in the last week.
Would this concern you? He doesn't seem to be aware he's doing it as when I've asked what he did with his eye he just says what?
I've tried doing it myself and it's actually quite difficult to do just on one side!
DH thinks I'm overthinking.
