Why does my upper right eyelid keep twitching?

Many people often feel their eyelids twitching, and sometimes they even twitch for a whole day and can't stop. Moreover, eyelid twitching is different for each person. Some people have right eyelid twitching, while others have left eyelid twitching. In fact, medically speaking, eyelid twitching reflects some problems in your body. Today I will explain to you what causes your upper right eyelid to twitch and whether there is something wrong with your body.

"Eye twitching" is a common symptom in clinical practice. It does not cause much harm to the eyes, so there is no need to worry too much. There are three common causes of eye twitching:

(1) Excessive use of eyes leads to physical discomfort. When you overuse your eyes or feel unwell, your eye muscles will twitch involuntarily, causing "eye twitching". This twitch is often caused by increased tension in the nerve fibers that locally control the eye muscles. The "eye twitching" caused by this reason is often sporadic, once or two or three times a day, several times each time, and lasting one to two seconds. Generally, no medication is required, and the symptoms will be alleviated or disappear after proper rest.

(2) Eye inflammation. Sometimes, in addition to eye twitching, there may be other symptoms such as eye irritation and red eyes. This is caused by eye inflammation, such as conjunctivitis, trachoma, etc. The symptoms will disappear after treatment with drugs such as rifampicin eye drops and ofloxacin.

(3) The nerve fibers that control the eye muscles are stimulated or compressed by inflammation. This condition is relatively rare. At this time, each eye twitch will last for a few seconds. The condition tends to worsen in stages, recurs repeatedly, or is easily induced by tension. You need to go to the hospital for examination. "Eye twitching" can indeed reflect some physical discomfort, but the common saying "left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster" has no scientific basis.

You can take vitamin B1, B12 and oryzanol orally. Take it orally for 3-5 days and it will be fine. It is important to pay attention to the fact that many facial spasms start with eye twitching - corner of the mouth - platysma muscle. It will be difficult to treat then.

After reading the above introductions, I believe everyone has their own opinion on eyelid twitching. There is a saying among the people that if the left eye twitches, it means good fortune, while if the right eye twitches, it means disaster. In fact, these are all unfounded. If you feel that your eyelids are twitching abnormally, you must go to the hospital in time.
