Why does my right eye twitch? Right eye twitching sign

As the saying goes, the left eye twitching brings good luck and the right eye twitching brings disaster. In life, people will become particularly nervous when someone's right eye twitches. In fact, there are many signs of right eye twitching, which may be facial spasm, pathological twitching, etc., and you must face them correctly.

Eyelid twitching may be hemifacial spasm:

Chinese people have a view that "left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster". There is also a familiar lyric "If your left eyelid twitches, good things are about to happen". But from a medical point of view, whether it is the left eyelid or the right eyelid twitching, it will not bring good luck to people. On the contrary, many times, eyelid twitching is not only not a sign of getting rich, but may bring people endless troubles, because it is very likely that you are suffering from hemifacial spasm. Eyelid twitching is medically known as blepharospasm, which can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological blepharospasm is generally mild and is often triggered by factors such as overwork and emotional tension. It will improve after proper rest or relaxation. Pathological blepharospasm is a type of facial spasm. The causes are very complex and it is difficult to heal on its own. Its development trend is continuous and progressive worsening. Therefore, if your eyelids twitch or the corners of your mouth twitch repeatedly, persist, or gradually worsen, it may be hemifacial spasm. We remind you to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Eyelid twitching or mouth corner twitching may be diseases of the facial nerve, which are usually diagnosed clinically as hemifacial spasm. If hemifacial spasm is not treated, it generally will not improve naturally, and the attacks will gradually become more frequent and more severe.

Physiological eyelid twitching : Physiological eyelid twitching often occurs when you overuse your eyes, are too tired, lack sleep, are nervous, stressed, or smoke or drink too much. The attack is usually short (usually a few seconds), the symptoms are mild, and there is not much discomfort after recovery.

Pathological eyelid twitching: Pathological eyelid twitching is usually caused by certain diseases. It usually occurs frequently, lasts for a long time, and has a large amplitude. Sometimes it even involves the eyebrows, forehead, corners of the mouth, or even half of the face. For example, refractive errors (hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, etc.), inverted eyelashes, foreign bodies in the eye, keratitis, conjunctivitis, etc. The eye muscles are controlled by nerves. Eyelid twitching may also be caused by abnormal activity of the facial nerve center and is an early symptom of facial spasm.
