Whether we like it or not, our life is full of stress. It is they who, as a rule, are the cause of poor he alth, diseases or some symptoms. For example, sometimes we wonder why the upper eyelid twitches. There may be several reasons.
Why does the upper eyelid twitch
This symptom is called hyperkinesis. It is worth clarifying that the lower eyelid practically cannot twitch. Either way, we don't see it. Therefore, people always ask doctors about exactly why the upper eyelid twitches. And often get mixed answers.
- The brain is an incredibly complex system. And sometimes there are failures in it: large and small. The latter just include the situation in which the upper eyelid begins to behave strangely. The brain sends impulses, and the eyelid receives them wrongly, since the eye area is one of the most sensitive areas of our body.
- As mentioned earlier, stress often affects our body in a rather strange way. More precisely, the symptoms are not so telling. But hyperkinesis is one of them. This is due to the complex structure of the nervous system. Perhaps you were worried even today: the boss scolded you, you spoke to a large audience … But you never know! In this case, sedatives will help stop twitching: valerian tincture, motherwort.
- The constant wearing of glasses, lenses is another reason why the upper eyelid twitches. Let's take a break from them.
- The next reason why the eyelid twitches is a banal eye strain. Many professions today are associated with working at a computer. In addition, a significant part of people are accustomed to "rest" in front of the TV or on the Internet, which often develops into a real addiction. Together, this leads not only to a decrease in vision, but also to hyperkinesis. Therefore, in order to maintain he alth, it is better to get rid of addiction. But at work it is useful to take breaks so that the eyes can rest.
- Bad habits can also cause hyperkinesis. These include not only alcohol with smoking, but also improper working conditions at the computer, while reading (poor lighting, poor posture) and so on.
However, it may very well be that the stress dragged on. To such an extent that you no longer notice its main symptoms (constant fatigue, fatigue, irritability), which have been manifesting for quite a long time. In this case, it is worth taking a timeout. Go on vacation. Just spend it not at the TV and computer, but in the fresh air, with friends, while traveling or hiking. If this does not help, and the eyelid continues to twitch, be sure to visit a neurologist.
For every hour of working at the computer, there should be 10-15 minutes of relaxation (just stop looking at the screen). A light massage will also help. Close your eyes and with your fingertips begin to make light circular movements on the eyelids. Do not be zealous: yellow spots should not appear before the eyes and, of course, the occurrence of pain is unacceptable!
Be he althy!
