I have only had aura 2 times in my life. I don't know if eye twitching is considered aura. My right eye has been twitching right before migraine.

Yes…I’ve had eye twitching but it was hard to pinpoint if it was due to the cpap machine I was using due to sleep apnea or the migraine…but yeah it has happened but don’t know if this is typical or not.

While eye twitching isn't typically classified as a migraine aura, it could be an early warning sign of an upcoming migraine. Traditional auras usually involve visual disturbances like flashing lights, zigzag lines, blind spots, or shimmering spots that last several minutes to an hour before a migraine attack.

While eye twitching isn't typically classified as a migraine aura, it could be an early warning sign of an upcoming migraine. Traditional auras usually involve visual disturbances like flashing lights, zigzag lines, blind spots, or shimmering spots that last several minutes to an hour before a migraine attack. Common aura symptoms include visual changes, muscle weakness, trouble speaking, or tingling in the hand or face. Since you're experiencing a new symptom, it would be wise to discuss the eye twitching with your healthcare provider. They can properly evaluate this symptom and determine if it's related to your migraines or if there might be other causes.
