hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understand your concern

probabilities of your eye lid opening problem are
1. Bell's palsy due to stroke
2.diabetic neuropathy
3.Horner's syndrome

I can suggest you to get done
1.MRI brain with contrast
2.blood sugars _FBS , ppbs
3.RFT and LFT

physiotherapy exercises can improve the muscle strength

after reports we can take proper plan of action

hope this helps you
