Hello
It seems from the history that you are having progressive intermittent drooping of eyelids and typically worse with fatigue.
This is characteristically seen in diseases affecting the neuromuscular junction like myasthenia gravis.
The treatment for them is by medical treatment with drugs only.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
