In medicine, it is called [eyelid tremor] or [spasm], which is the tremor caused by nerve or eye muscle stimulation.

But… if your eyelids keep jumping, you should be on guard, you may really be sick.
Eyelids are jumping incessantly. Be on guard.

Someone should ask, how do you judge which one you are? Can’t wait eight years!
Should I go to the hospital or not?
First of all, if eyelid jump occurs but cannot be relieved by rest and eye relaxation, you should pay attention.
Attention should be paid to recording the start time of eyelid beating, and follow-up observation should be made. Once the following situations occur:
- Eyelid jump lasts for more than one week; The eyelid is completely closed and it is difficult to open eyes. Eyelids jump and gradually develop into facial muscles twitching at the same time; Eyelid jumping is accompanied by redness, acidity or tears in the eyes.
At this time, we must go to the hospital for medical treatment!
The doctor will inform the corresponding situation for further diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, although eyelid jump is a small probability event, once it occurs, don’t just think about [left eye jump money, right eye jump disaster].
If you jump up endlessly and ignore it and delay treatment, it is really likely to be a big disaster.
