All psychological overloads of the body negatively affect our health. Constant stress, depression, insomnia, regular overwork - all this does not go without consequences. Some people have high blood pressure, someone begins to suffer serious psychosomatic illnesses, someone complains of shaking hands, and someone twitches the upper eyelid.
Doctors call involuntary muscle contraction around the eye a nervous tic. This disease is not dangerous to health, however, twitching of the upper eyelid causes unpleasant or painful sensations in humans. Nervous tick is a common cause of discomfort in overworked people. It interferes with communication and creates an irresistible feeling of insecurity. A nervous tick does not require going to the doctor, however, if your illness lasts for more than two weeks, make an appointment with a neurologist.
Usually, the upper, and not the lower eyelid, twitches in patients. However, there are exceptions. If the nerve tick does not stop for two weeks, the muscles become overworked and begin to hurt. Worst of all, when a tick spreads to both eyes, in this case a person is doubly tormented.
What to do if the eyelid twitches? First of all, you need to go to your boss and take a two-week vacation. Sign up for relaxing procedures, pay attention to your mental and physical health. It would be useful to determine why the lower eyelid twitches. What events of your life have finally disabled you? Each person has his own individual ways of relaxation. To relieve stress, someone just needs to visit the elite SPA-salon, go through a Thai massage and relax in your favorite sauna. Someone needs to sit alone for several days in complete silence, and someone will not be able to get rid of stress until he spends a week or two on the sea beach.
Remember, a nervous tick is the first serious signal of your body! If you ignore these symptoms while continuing to work in your normal rhythm, you run the risk of acquiring a wide variety of diseases, the treatment of which will require immediate hospitalization.

Experts recommend drinking a decoction of chamomile and abandoning the regular use of coffee. When a person's upper eyelid twitches, he needs to focus on strengthening the nervous system. To do this, it is useful to increase the amount of magnesium in the body. The products such as fish, peas, bananas and chocolate enrich the human body with magnesium.
If your treatment fails for a long time, visit a neurologist. In some cases, the same symptoms have been seen in people with severe disabilities. Sometimes people who have suffered head injuries, concussions, or meningitis have a twitching of the upper eyelid. This ailment can also be caused by allergies. In these cases, the doctor will prescribe you an individual course of treatment.
In most people, symptoms of a nervous tick appear only a few times over the entire period of overwork.
