What is the cause of eyelid jumping

We are not unfamiliar with the phrase "left eye jumping for money and right eye jumping for disaster". Many people feel very worried when they find their eyelids jumping constantly, fearing that something bad will happen. In fact, there is no scientific basis for linking eyelid jumping with fortune and disaster. So what exactly is the cause of the eyelid jumping.

Bad emotions

Eyelid jumping can be divided into upper eyelid jumping and lower eyelid jumping. Regardless of the situation, people who are often under the bad mood of anger, depression, depression and so on, it is easy to have upper and lower eyelid jumping because of psychological factors. The eyelid jumping caused by this condition only needs to be improved after a change in mood. In addition, eyelid jumping may also be caused by self-referential upper and lower eyelid jumping.

Overuse of the eyes

Excessive eye use without effective rest for the eyes can cause eyelid jumping. For example, if you watch TV and computer for a long time, the bright light from the TV and computer will stimulate your eyes and cause your eye muscles to contract, so if you don't pay attention to resting your eyes, it will easily cause your eye muscles to contract too much and twitch, resulting in eyelid jumping. The upper eyelid jumping that often occurs in some people is likely to be caused by excessive eye use and insufficient rest.

Eye diseases

Eye diseases such as dry eye, inflammation, myopia, farsightedness, etc. can cause eyelid jumping. In addition, the eyelids may also be jumping due to acute kidney failure, resulting in an increase in urea protein and a decrease in blood calcium. If you are unwell and have prolonged eyelid jumping, you must seek medical examination, as eyelid jumping may be a sign of disease.

Improper diet

The eyelid jumping caused by improper diet is mainly caused by the frequent consumption of spicy and irritating food. In addition, people who like to drink alcohol because of the stimulation of alcohol for the eyes easily cause eyelid jumping. People who often eat foods that are easily inflammable, because the body fire stimulates the nerves to appear eyelid jumping.

Lack of sleep

Lack of sleep can also lead to eyelid jumping. Frequent late nights and failure to ensure adequate sleep time and high sleep quality can seriously affect the rest and self-repair of the eyes during the night. The nerves in the eyes are overloaded to perform tension contraction, and spasms can easily occur, leading to eyelid jumping. The lack of sleep causes the eyes to be overworked and causes the left and right eyelids to jump or the upper and lower eyelids to jump.

Facial spasms

Spasms in the facial muscles may only cause localized muscle twitching of the face in mild cases, but more serious cases may show uncontrolled twitching of the facial muscles. If the facial muscle spasm occurs for a long time, it may affect the skin nerves around the eyes, causing the left and right eyelids or the upper and lower eyelids to jump.

External irritation

External stimuli such as bright light, drugs, or foreign objects blown into the eyes can cause eyelid jumping. We often say that "there is no room for sand in the eyes", the eye nerves are more sensitive, a small external stimulus can trigger nerve sensation, when suffering from stronger stimulation, the eyelid muscle nerves tend to lose control of the constant eyelid jumping.
