A little jolt at the corner of your eye, and you're wondering what's going on. It is neither painful nor dangerous, but sufficiently annoying to attract your attention. Is this discreet tremor, often ephemeral, really irrelevant? What if that was the way your body found to give you a message? This phenomenon, called myokymy, never happens quite by chance...
Stress: the silent enemy behind this tic
Imagine a rope that is too tight. By dint of shoot, it finally vibrate. That's kind of what happens with your nerves when stress sets in. Daily pressures, mental loads, lack of rest... The body cashes, until it starts to react. And sometimes, this reaction manifests itself in a treasure eyelid.
The muscle responsible for blinking the eye, the orbicular, becomes hypersensitive. Like a discreet but real alarm bell. If this little tremor comes back often, maybe it's time to lift your foot and give your mind a real break.
