The upper left eyelid has been jumping for several days. What is the omen?

Eyelid jumping, many people think it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Medically speaking, the scientific name of ptosis is "eyelid tremor", which is mainly caused by repeated contraction of a thin muscle in eyelid-orbicularis oculi muscle. There are two reasons, one is because of lack of rest and sleep, or because of anemia and excessive alcohol and tobacco, and the other is because of eye diseases, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, conjunctivitis and keratitis.

On the one hand, treatment should pay attention to rest. If it is serious, you can take quinine in moderation. If it is particularly serious, you should go to the hospital!

In addition to citing scientific theories, I will make a simple analysis of the possible consequences of eyelid jump. If a person's eyelids are always jumping, on the one hand, it is because of improper rest or fatigue, on the other hand, it is bound to fidget, which may really lead to some accidents or mistakes in work. If he walks, rides a bike or even drives on the road, it is likely to cause an accident, which is basically a "disaster" caused by eyelid jumping.

With the acceleration of the pace of life, eyelid jump interferes with people's work and life more and more, especially when the seasons change. For a long time, because there is no unified and standardized diagnosis and treatment standard in facial neurology, there are many misunderstandings, one-sided or blindness in treatment and prevention due to different views on "eyelid jump".

First, some people think that eyelid jumping doesn't matter. There is a folk saying that "jumping in the left eye is wealth, jumping in the right eye is disaster", especially jumping in the left eye, which delays the illness; Second, some people are so sensitive that they will go to treatment as soon as their eyelids jump. Looking forward to "immediate results", rapid improvement, regardless of the consequences. As a result, a common disease that is easy to cure has become an extremely difficult disease. Third, confusion or uncertainty. Mistakenly regard eyelid jump as spasm, and some people regard eyelid jump caused by sequela of facial paralysis as spasm.

Sun is the director of Beijing Yijiyuan Facial Nerve Research Institute. He has analyzed more than 8,000 cases of facial nerve diseases. In his opinion, whether it is ptosis or hemifacial spasm, apart from occupying lesions, most of them are due to mental stress, eye muscle fatigue, lack of sleep, precursors of chronic diseases and sequelae of facial paralysis, which weakens the nerve function conduction, leads to eye malnutrition, and capillaries contact with nerve endings, which affects muscles and leads to involuntary pulsation. The contact area between capillaries and nerve endings increases, from contact adhesion to linear adhesion, from pulsation to convulsion, forming hemifacial spasm, and the focus is also in the eye. From the diagnosis, there is a clear difference between simple eyelid jump and hemifacial spasm. Simple eyelid jump generally has no facial muscle depression, nasolabial groove asymmetry or linear atrophy zone of both cheeks; When blinking, the orbicularis oris muscle has no traction.

In fact, eyelid jump is something that everyone may encounter in life, and most people can disappear on their own in a short time. Therefore, when the eyelids just jump, don't go to treatment immediately, pay more attention to rest, relax and maintain a good attitude; At the same time, pay attention to observe whether the eyelid pulsation is gradually decreasing or increasing, whether there is a downward expansion trend and a linear pulling feeling from the eye to the mouth. In addition, look in the mirror to see if there is any obvious atrophy (depression). If the eyelid still jumps after a week, you should go to a professional medical institution for treatment.
