The upper right eyelid is twitching

There are many different superstitious beliefs about eyelid twitching among the people, so many people believe that eyelid twitching indicates that something is going to happen. However, it has been medically proven that eyelid twitching is closely related to facial nerve spasms and convulsions. If a person experiences twitching of the right eyelid, he should read the following article, which will introduce the causes of eyelid twitching.

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

Causes of eyelid twitching: Recently, you are in a state of mental confusion due to some reasons, and your mind is always predicting the coming of some bad consequences, which causes mental anxiety. The facial nerve is stimulated by some kind of stimulation, such as brain tumors, inflammation or scars that stimulate the facial nerve. Secondly, chronic inflammation of the eyes such as conjunctivitis, frequent rubbing of the eyes with hands, stimulating the eyelid muscles, etc. can also cause eyelid twitching. Mild cases are mostly related to eye inflammation.

Mild eyelid twitching only brings some discomfort and will not cause adverse consequences. Most of them will disappear automatically after rest. Sometimes it needs to be supplemented with medication. For example, conjunctivitis can be treated at the same time and vitamin B, B6 can be supplemented. If the upper and lower eyelids twitch, the discomfort will be more obvious. Severe upper and lower eyelid twitching can cause inability to open the eyes. The affected eye is in a spasmodic closed state, which will inevitably affect vision and cause mental distress to the patient. But it will not have an adverse effect on life or health.

If the eyelid twitching is severe, it may be blepharospasm. Blepharospasm is an unexplained spasm of the muscles in the facial nerve innervation area. In mild cases, the orbicularis oculi muscle has paroxysmal, involuntary, and frequent small twitches that do not affect eye opening; in severe cases, the twitching is obvious, making it difficult to open the eyes and affecting vision. If you are concerned about this problem, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. It may also be Meige syndrome.
