I'm curious and a bit concerned about my left upper eyelid that keeps pulsating. It's been going on daily for about 6 months now. It comes and goes within minutes, but it's pretty much a daily occurrence. Its not really causing any problems, but I just wanted to check if this is something to worry about or if it's just a harmless twitch.

Thta could be due to restlessness,no need to worry take adequate rest and maintain healthy lifestyle

I've been having these sharp pains right behind my ear that come and go pretty quickly. It's like there's also this weird pressure that builds up behind my head and sometimes makes me feel dizzy. Should I be worried about this? Is this something you've seen before, and what might be causing it?

The sharp pain behind your ear, accompanied by pressure behind the head and dizziness, could be related to various factors, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or tension headaches; to alleviate symptoms, try applying warm compresses, practicing relaxation techniques, and maintaining good posture, and consider consulting a healthcare professional, such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm having trouble holding a pen properly and writing because my index finger doesn't seem to grip it right. My finger itself seems fine, though. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing difficulty with fine motor control, which could be due to issues with coordination or muscle strength, even if there's no apparent problem with the finger itself. I recommend consulting a specialist, such as a neurologist or occupational therapist, who can assess the underlying cause and suggest exercises or treatments to improve your grip and writing ability.
