Treat left eyelid twitching scientifically

Sometimes our left eyelid will twitch and we feel very uneasy. There is an old saying that goes "A twitching left eye means talent, a twitching right eye means disaster." The explanation for this sentence is that if the left eye twitches, good things will happen, while if the right eye twitches, bad things will happen. This certainly lacks certain scientific basis. So what is the reason for the left eyelid twitching and how to adjust this condition?

"Left eyelid twitching" is the twitching of the eyelid muscles, that is, spasm of the eyelid muscles. Sometimes it is limited to the upper or lower eyelid, and sometimes the upper and lower eyelids twitch at the same time. In severe cases, it affects the facial muscles and muscles at the corners of the mouth.

The muscle movements of the face and eyelids are controlled by the facial nerve. When the facial nerve is stimulated, it will cause the muscles it controls to twitch. If only the branch that controls the eyelids is affected, only the eyelids will twitch. Therefore, eyelid twitching is not a sign of impending disaster, but is caused by abnormal activity of the facial nerve.

Why does the left eyelid twitch?

1. You have been in a bad mood recently due to some reason, which has put you in a state of mental confusion; business failure or investment failure; your heart always foresees the coming of some bad consequences, causing mental anxiety; your facial nerves are stimulated in some way, such as tumors, inflammation or scars in the brain that stimulate the facial nerves, etc.

2. Chronic eye inflammation such as conjunctivitis, frequent rubbing of eyes with hands, irritation of eyelid muscles, etc. can also cause eyelid twitching. Mild cases are mostly related to eye inflammation.

Mild left eyelid twitching only brings some discomfort and will not cause adverse consequences. Most of the time, it will disappear automatically after rest, and sometimes it needs to be supplemented with medication. If you treat conjunctivitis and supplement vitamins B and B6 at the same time, the discomfort will be more obvious if the upper and lower eyelids twitch. What's more, severe upper and lower eyelid twitching can cause the inability to open the eyes, and the affected eye is in a spasmodic closed state, which will inevitably affect the vision and cause the patient's mental distress. But it will not have any adverse effect on life or health.

Warm reminder: The current treatment for this kind of widespread muscle twitching is mainly to supplement with large amounts of vitamins, pay attention to rest, and if necessary, ask a neurologist to check whether the facial nerve is compressed or irritated.

Influenced by traditional ideas, some people become restless if their left eyelid twitches, believing that something is bound to happen. In fact, it is not, it has something to do with our sleep quality. It’s closely tied to what we eat. Therefore, only by recognizing the essence of the problem can we better solve it.
