Eyebrows jumped all day, what happened?

There is a folk saying that the left eye jumps "disaster" and the right eye jumps "wealth". As a result, a quick glance often brings unnecessary trouble to some people. In fact, this is purely out of thin air and groundless. The so-called "saccade" refers to the saccade of the eyelid, which is due to the abnormal excitement of the nerves that control the eyelid muscles, that is, some muscle fibers of the orbicularis oculi muscle cannot contract continuously in a short time, making the skin on it jump.

Generally, eyelid jump occurs more frequently when you are overtired, spend too much time with your eyes or have insufficient sleep. Others, such as strong light, drug stimulation, or foreign objects blowing into the eyes, or frequent smoking and drinking, will stimulate the eyes and cause eyelid jumping.

The most common eyelid jump is the muscle tremor of orbicularis oculi muscle, which lasts for about a few seconds to several minutes at a time, and then usually recovers automatically. When the eyelids are beating frequently, you can close your eyes and have a rest, or apply a hot towel to your eyes to shorten the time of eyelid beating.

If your eyelids keep jumping, you should see a doctor at once. If eyelid jumping is accompanied by ipsilateral muscles, eyebrows and mouth twitching, it may be a spasm caused by facial nerve stimulation and should be treated actively.
