Ms. Zhang, 59, is a businessman. Eight years ago, when she went out to talk about business, her left eyelid suddenly began to beat. 'left eyelid jumped to wealth, right eyelid jumped to disaster'. She thought that this left eyelid beat was a good omen, and the project on that day was also very smooth. However, after talking about it, her left eyelid still kept jumping, and then it became an eye twitch.
From that day on, the paroxysmal and irregular twitch of left eyelid has been accompanied by Ms. Zhang. At first, the convulsions were mild, lasting for several seconds, and then the time gradually increased to several minutes, more than ten minutes, and the convulsions gradually increased frequently. But she didn't take it seriously when she believed in "left eye jump".

In severe cases, she felt numb to the left side of her face and her neck twitched.

Doctor: eyelid jumping has nothing to do with luck
Recently, Ms. Zhang went to the hospital for medical treatment. The doctor found that Ms. Zhang's left face continued to twitch involuntarily, which was very painful. After examination, she was diagnosed as facial spasm. The doctor decided to inject Botox for her treatment. After the injection, Ms. Zhang's symptoms immediately improved. Her eyes, which were spasmodic and half closed, gradually opened, and her face and brow, which were twitching, gradually stretched.
Doctors remind that eyelid jumping has nothing to do with luck. It's a health problem. In case of eyelid beat, apply hot towel on the face and massage the stiff face with hands; if the eyelid beat lasts for a long time, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
'finally, she didn't jump!' Ms. Zhang stopped her 8-year-old left eyelid jump after being treated in the hospital.
The 8-year-old eyelid flutter finally recovered.
Why do our eyelids jump?
1. Muscle spasm:
The eyelid jump caused by muscle spasm around the eyes caused by fatigue or pressure usually lasts for about 20 seconds, which can be relieved by gently pressing the eyelid with fingers.
2. Stimulated and oppressed:
Nerve fibers, which dominate the muscles of the eye, can also 'jump' when stimulated or compressed by inflammation. But this is rare. At this time, each time the eye movement will last for a few seconds, the disease will have an aggravating trend, and it will recur, and it is easy to induce when it is tense. It's better to go to the hospital for examination.
3. Overuse of eyes:
When using the eyes excessively and the body feels uncomfortable, the muscles in the eyes will twitch involuntarily, causing 'eye jump'. This kind of reason causes the eye to jump, often is sporadic, once a day or two or three times. Generally, there is no need for medication, as long as the appropriate rest, the symptoms will disappear.
4. Retinal detachment or eye diseases:
Serious xerophthalmia, trichiasis, conjunctivitis and keratitis lead to eyelid jump. Eyelid jump may also occur in patients with ametropia, myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. PS: if the eyes are painful or the eyes are blurred or double shadowed, the ophthalmic examination should be carried out carefully at this time, because these symptoms are likely to be the precursor of retinal detachment or eye infection.
5. Caused by drugs or eating disorders:
Sometimes eyelid jumps are caused by alcohol, alcohol, or other stimulating dietary stimuli. Or take some western medicine. Or eat fiery food, and make the body on fire and stimulate nerves, and lead to eyelid jump.
6. Other diseases:
When the body has a disease, it will also cause eyelid jumping, which does not take a long time. The precursor of acute renal failure, because of the increase of urea protein and the decrease of blood calcium, causes the eyelid to beat ceaselessly. Middle aged women may have hormonal imbalances and eyelids. Heatstroke, heat exhaustion, hiccups, etc. can cause eyelid flutter. There are many cases of eyelid jump belonging to the disease, so if this kind of eyelid jump, you should go to the hospital to see the neurology department.
7. Facial spasm:
Eyelid twitch or corner of mouth twitch may belong to facial nerve disease, which is usually diagnosed as facial spasm. If it lasts for a long time, or even both eyes jump, which brings troubles to life, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find the cause. If the facial spasm is not treated, it will not improve naturally, and the attack will be gradually frequent, and may appear facial paralysis several years later. Therefore, patients with hemifacial spasm should be treated in a regular hospital as soon as possible.
