The spasms or tics that commonly occur in the human body do not occur in one place, but often occur in multiple parts of the body. Everyone experiences them, both men and women. Contractions usually involve rapid pulsations or twitches in a specific part of the body, and each person feels what contractions are, whether consciously or unconsciously, because contractions surely have their own hidden meaning in each occurrence.
According to health experts, contractions are an event in which the nervous system or muscles experience excessive activity. For example, when we lack rest, our eyes often twitch.
Dr. Andreas Prasadja, RPSGT, sleep doctor at Mitra Kemayoran Hospital Sleep Disorders Clinic, says that twitches can be caused by disturbances in our organs of vision that are temporary due to insufficient rest. This condition worsens if it spreads to the muscles around the lips. This is due to irritation that occurs in the seventh cranial nerve of the face by the anterior cerebral artery or due to other alterations. In this case, get enough sleep regularly. If you spend many hours in front of a computer, briefly rest your eyes by looking into the distance and then closing it. Applying a cold compress can also help reduce inflammation. If the spasms persist, consult a neurology specialist.
Dr. Donny Istiantoro, Sp.M, ophthalmologist at Jakarta Eye Center, mentions that eye twitches are nothing to worry about because they usually resolve on their own. This contraction of the seventh motor nerve is simply due to extreme fatigue. To do this, you can take multivitamins to improve your blood or vitamin E. If the condition worsens and interferes with daily activities, consider an expert-administered botulinum toxin injection or consult an eye surgeon.
However, here we try to give meaning to the contractions according to the trusty “primbon”, which some people believe in for its accuracy. Without anticipating the will of the Almighty about what will happen to us tomorrow or the day after, only God knows. What we need to know is that something will happen to us that should make us grateful for his blessings.
Knowing the meaning of contractions can make us cautious in our actions and decisions in terms of speech, behavior in social interactions, daily activities and greater caution when facing problems. But above all, surrender to the will of God and always pray for his protection because we can change our destiny with hard work and alter destiny with prayers; we only submit to God.
