Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
Iam Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having involuntary contractions of eyelid for last 2 weeks. This involuntary contractions are spasms of eye lids or twitches of eye lid.
The common causes for eye lid twitches are stress, excessive intake of caffeine, tiredness...
As you have quoted in the history that you get these symptoms whenever you are upset thus indicating that these are benign eye lid twitches which will disappear and no need to worry.
You can follow the below mentioned things for relief from these eye lid twitches
Do cold compression to the local area for earlier symptomatic relief
Do control elevated blood pressure
Reduce intake of coffee and other drinks containing caffeine
Have a balanced nutritious diet and good intake of fluids
Adequate sleep
You need to worry if the eye lid twitches are generalized causing complete closure of the eye lids, spasms of the surrounding facial muscles as these indicate
blepharospasm and may require further evaluation.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
