Is eyelid beating a healthy reaction?

Most ptosis is physiological in medicine. Known as "eyelid tremor" or "spasm", it is a tremor caused by the stimulation of nerves or eye muscles. When we say eyelid jump, it is actually that the eye muscles such as orbicularis oculi muscle and levator palpebrae superioris muscle vibrate under nerve control, which in turn drives the skin to jump. This kind of vibration is beyond human control, and its appearance or stop is often not affected by human will.

Excessive eye fatigue and overuse are often the main causes of eyelid pulsation.

The causes of abnormal nerve discharge are mostly due to excessive fatigue, excessive use of eyes, lack of sleep, or too dry eyes. Generally speaking, the condition of eyelid beating will recover in a few minutes, and a few will last for a few days. Usually it can be improved by adjusting sleep time and getting enough rest.

Extended data:

Status 1: electrolyte imbalance in the body

Drinking tea, coffee and other drinks often leads to calcium loss. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, your blood calcium concentration may be too low. When the concentration of calcium and phosphorus in your body is unbalanced, your whole body muscles will cramp involuntarily, and even your eyelids will beat involuntarily. It is recommended to supplement calcium in the diet.

Condition 2/ Facial Paralysis

Eyelid jump is one of the symptoms that typical facial nerve patients will experience, but not all patients with facial paralysis will be accompanied by eyelid jump. Generally speaking, the probability that eyelid pulsation is facial paralysis is quite low. If people find that eyelid pulsation lasts for more than 2 to 3 weeks, they should seek medical examination as soon as possible.

Condition 3/ Stroke

Similarly, eyelid pulsation is not necessarily a stroke, but stroke patients do have abnormal eyelid pulsation. Severe ophthalmoplegia may also cause drooping eyelids or inability to close eyelids. It is recommended that people with the above conditions seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
