Jump to the left, jump to the right, what omen?

The ancients lacked scientific theoretical support for the abnormal signs of the body, so they blamed it on ghosts and gods.

Ancient metaphysics said: the left is expensive, and the right is cheap. Then the abnormal performance of the left eye must be expensive and good, and the most expensive thing is to make a fortune. The abnormal performance of the left eye must be cheap, and the worst thing is the arrival of disaster.

Ancient geomantic omen said: the left eye sees the sun, the right eye sees the moon, the sun is yang, and the moon is yin. Yang is rich, Yin is disaster. The left eye represents the sun, which is a symbol of light and a sign of making a fortune. The right eye represents the moon, a symbol of darkness and an early warning of disaster.

Why eyelid jump has nothing to do with good luck?

Eyelid jump is medically called eyelid spasm. Eyelid jump is not skin jump, but the muscle of orbicularis oculi and levator palpebrae muscle contract repeatedly under the control of nerves, which drives the surface skin to move with it, sometimes confined to the upper eyelid or lower eyelid, and sometimes the upper and lower eyelids twitch at the same time. Eyelid jumping is not a harbinger of fortune, but an abnormal activity of facial nerves. Eyelid pulsation is actually an alarm reflecting human health. There are two reasons for eyelid "beating", one is too much relationship with eyes, and the other is caused by disease.

First, physiological eyelid jump

Manifestation: The attack time is short (a few seconds) and the beating range is small.

Reasons: mental emotions-emotional ups and downs, excessive pressure, excessive tension; Daily life-staying up late, my eyes are too tired, and I often wipe my eyes with my hands; Eating disorders-drinking alcohol, spicy or irritating food.

Countermeasures: hot compress, massage (wheel scraping) and rest.

Second, pathological eyelid jump

Symptoms: frequent attacks, long duration (tens of seconds) and large beating range.

Etiology: eye diseases-dry eye, trichiasis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, ametropia, intraocular foreign bodies, etc. Head diseases-hemifacial spasm, intracranial tumor, arachnoid adhesion; Drug dependence-sleeping pills and other drugs that can produce dependence

Treatment: treatment of primary disease, oral carbamazepine, injection of Botox, etc.

Eyelid jumping is something that everyone may encounter in life. In most cases, it will disappear on its own in the short term. Therefore, when the eyelids beat, it is neither a sign of luck nor a sign of disaster, but a reminder to pay more attention to rest, avoid excessive use of eyes, relax and adjust your diet; If you find that the eyelid jump is gradually increasing and has a downward trend, and lasts for several days, you should go to the hospital ophthalmology or neurology department for treatment in time.
