Nervous tick( eye twitches): the main causes and methods of disposal

Many people have experienced such a problem as involuntary muscle contraction near the eye. This problem has become quite common, and under certain circumstances it may appear in everyone.

Is this a hazard? No, it's not dangerous at all. However, it is one of the "bells" that our own body gives us, making it clear that we can not continue living like this.

Rapid involuntary short-term muscle contraction is called a nerve tic. In order to cope with this problem, it is necessary to correctly identify and eliminate the causes of nervous tics - only then the eye will stop twitching.

Since in most cases a nervous tic is a consequence of problems with the nervous system, it is in this area that you should start looking for the cause.

Causes of eye twitches( nerve tics)

As a rule, the main cause of muscle twitching is fatigue or overstrain( both physical and mental):

• Do you sleep a little at night?
• Do you have any serious emotional experiences?
• Do you work too hard?
• Recently transferred the disease and still feel a weakness?
• Forced to often travel on business trips?

If at least one of these questions you answered positively, you do not have to speculate why your eye twitches: the answer is already known to you.

It should be noted that the common cause of the nervous tic is the defeat of the central nervous system. This also increases nervous-reflex excitability, decreases muscle tone, there is muscle hypertension and short-term convulsions. Most often the nervous tic for this reason is manifested in very active children with minimal brain dysfunction and attention deficit.

Eye irritations can be experienced by ARI and ARI .In this case, violations occur in people with impaired immunity and in children. A weakened or immature nervous system responds very easily to any infection that manifests itself in obsessive movements.

In addition to common infectious diseases, twitching of the eye muscles can provoke and local eye diseases, for example, conjunctivitis, blepharitis and other diseases that cause people to often blink.

Among other things, sometimes the parents of children, who are twitching eyelids, recall that in childhood they themselves noticed similar symptoms. This indicates the possibility of transmission of a nervous tic by heredity.

Sometimes, in order for the eye muscle to stop twitching hard enough to squint, take a deep breath, exhale and open your eyes. But remember that this technique can only help to cope with the tick for a while, but the cause of its appearance does not eliminate, therefore after a while the eye can start to twitch again.

Normally, eye twitching is the body's signal that it needs rest. Therefore it is necessary to get a good first sleep, and better - take a day off or leave for the body to fully recover. In such cases, doctors recommend water procedures and moderate exercise. Someone can help change the situation.

Involuntary muscle twitching can also be caused by a deficiency of magnesium in the body. This element is very important for the full functioning of the nervous system, and its lack can provoke problems, in particular - a nervous tic. In order to make up for the deficiency of magnesium, it is worth including in the diet products rich in this element:

• beans,
• sesame,
• cereals,
• nuts,
• green vegetables,
• rye bread,
• pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

In addition to magnesium, the body also needs vitamins of group B, which contribute to the assimilation of this element. Sometimes it happens that the body gets enough magnesium with food, but it can not digest in full.

In the event that none of the above methods help, and the nervous tic constantly recur, it is necessary to consult a doctor. The neurologist will determine the cause of the nervous tic and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Because eye muscle twitching may be a symptom of serious illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, as well as a sign of stroke or middle ear disease, do not delay the visit to the doctor for a long time.

If even in your life there are no stresses, there are no problems with sleep and eye strain, but with all eyes twitching anyway, you need to look for another reason. Rarely, but still it happens that the nervous tic is not psychosomatic, but is a consequence of the depletion of the body or craniocerebral trauma, or, probably, the cold of the optic nerve.

So, if you twitch the muscles around the eye, you must first rest and relax your nerves a little. In case this does not help, be sure to contact a specialist who will help determine the cause and cope with this problem.

Take care of your own health, avoid tense situations and conflict situations.
