I dove yesterday and had no problems. I wake up this morning and my eyelid is twitching. It's been doing this all day long. What's up? :06:

My eyelid gets a twitch in it for hours at a time about twice a year or more, but this has been going on long before I ever started diving

That happens to me periodically, usually when I am tired. See if it still does it tomorrow after a good night's sleep

Rather than being a post-dive symptom, my twitchiness generally arises when I've been out of the water too long.
Kidding aside, Divers Alert Network (DAN) are the people to call for diving-related medical advice.
The non-emergency number is 1-800-446-2671 or 1-919-684-2948, Mon-Fri, 9am-8pm (EST). whether or not you are a member.

Charlie99's recommendation to discuss post-dive symptoms with DAN is sound. As he said, you don't have to be a member, but if you're not it would be nice to join.
Eyelid twitching can be caused by some significant neurological problems, but it is most frequently caused by a benign self-limiting conditon called eyelid myokymia. You can read a good (if somewhat technical) summary about it at:
