Reasons for right eye twitching in pregnant women

Eyelid twitching is a very common phenomenon in normal life. Although some people are superstitious and think that eyelid twitching means something is happening, in fact there are many reasons for eyelid twitching. For pregnant women, any abnormality in the body needs to be taken seriously, and if the situation is special, they need to be examined.

1. Generally speaking, there will be some abnormal eyelid twitching before the symptoms of hemifacial spasm appear. However, because it is relatively common, people do not pay enough attention to it and often do not seek special treatment. After a period of time when the lesions are formed, the symptoms of hemifacial spasm will suddenly appear.

2. The symptoms of primary hemifacial spasm are more common in women, and most of them develop after middle age. Paroxysmal involuntary twitching of the orbicularis oculi muscle on one side, which gradually and slowly spreads to other facial muscles on one side of the face, is a symptom in the early stage of the disease.

3. The most common symptom of facial muscle spasm is twitching of the muscles at the corners of the mouth, which manifests as irregular, rapid, and paroxysmal twitching. In the early stage of the disease, the convulsions are mild and last for a short time, just a few seconds. Later, they gradually last for several minutes or longer, but the intervals will gradually shorten and the convulsions will become more frequent and severe.

4. In severe cases, the condition may present as rigidity, leading to emotional tension, inability to speak, mouth corners tilted to the same side, fatigue, inability to open the eye on the same side, relief when quiet, disappearance during sleep, and aggravation when emotionally excited. A small number of patients may experience mild facial pain during convulsions, and some patients may also have tinnitus and ipsilateral headache. Neurological examination: no positive signs, except paroxysmal twitching of facial muscles.

5. In a few cases of hemifacial spasm, symptoms may be accompanied by mild facial muscle paralysis on the affected side in the late stages. In a very small number of patients with hemifacial spasm, the symptoms often occur on both sides one after the other, with one side twitching more severely than the other.
