What are the early symptoms of facial muscle spasm? In the early stage, the phenomenon of facial twitching will appear, and the phenomenon of increased muscle pain will seriously affect the normal sleep of patients, and even insomnia. Facial muscle spasm, also known as hemifacial convulsions, shows one side of the face muscle paroxysmal, uncontrollable abnormal twitching, each seizure time, tens of seconds to several minutes, seizure cessation period, mild patients with basic facial symmetry, the same as normal people; severe cases, the performance of facial asymmetry, spasm side of the corner of the mouth drooping, nasolabial folds become shallow. In severe cases, the face is asymmetrical, the corners of the mouth droop and the nasolabial folds become shallow. Frequent twitching of the upper and lower eyelid muscles (orbicularis oculi) can cause the eyes to open and become smaller, which affects reading the newspaper and watching TV; it also affects driving safety. Spasms and twitches in the corner of one side of the mouth, upper and lower lip and cheek muscles will cause facial deformation and distortion to one side, and the spasms will develop to the neck in the late stage of the disease. “This disease seriously affects daily life and social activities, and patients often have a great psychological burden and self-pity, especially when they are engaged in marketing, education and public employees, and students, and when they talk face to face with people, especially with strangers or important customers or superiors, the more nervous they are, the more their faces The more serious the spasms and twitches, so the negative effect of the disease on the psyche, resulting in reluctance to attend social events, afraid to deal with people, even the power to smile is lost, therefore, directly affect school, employment and work efficiency. In medical terms, the eyelids are called eyelids, and there are two muscles in the eyelids: one is called the orbicularis oculi, which surrounds the eye and acts to close the eye when it contracts; the other muscle is called the levator palpebrae, which is located in the upper eyelid and opens the eye when it contracts. With the constant contraction and relaxation of these two muscles, the eyes can open and close. There are two types of eyelid flutter: physiologic and pathologic. Physiological eyelid jumping, its development as a transient, very short, usually only a few seconds, and the degree of jumping is not serious, when the eyelid jumping, most people have felt jumping obvious, while the next person can not see, only a few times bystanders see eyelid jumping. In fact, this type of eyelid jumping, most of the rest is not enough, eye fatigue, mental tension or some external stimulation, this eyelid jumping does not affect health, more and more unrelated to the disaster, generally do not need special treatment, feeling more frequent jumping, you can close your eyes and rest for a while, or use your finger belly around the eyes gently massage, you can also take a warm towel for the eyes, the general eyelid jumping will The eyelid fluttering will usually subside automatically. What are the early symptoms of facial muscle spasm? The early symptoms of facial muscle spasm are also eyelid jumping, which is pathological eyelid jumping. Most of them occur in the lower eyelid, rarely there are bilateral eyelid jumping, or both eyelids alternately jumping, its episodes are more frequent, and long duration, jumping amplitude, eyelid muscle twitching will find the eyes become smaller, no fatigue, tension or irritation factors and other triggers, and after rest or self-regulation, but still continue to attack for more than 3 months. In this case, early manifestation of facial muscle spasm should be highly suspected, which is something that needs to be diagnosed in person by a specialist at the hospital. An experienced specialist will be able to determine whether it is physiological eyelid hopping; or early eyelid hopping of facial muscle spasm; or other medical conditions. The face jumping amplitude is large, and sometimes facial muscle spasm is triggered by tension or irritation factors, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that patients have early treatment and early recovery.
