How To Deal With Pulsation In Under Eye Area?
HI, I'm 26 years old. I have been experiencing pulsation in the under eye area (eye bag). Usually occurs in the right eye only. It happens regularly and when it starts it pulses for half a day. Is there anything I can stop this? it is very annoying when it happens.
Thanks

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pulsation or twitching of the eyelids.
This is because of irritation of the facial nerve resulting in contraction of the facial muscles and muscles of eyelid which are supplied by the facial nerve.
The common causes are stress and increased use of caffeine containing drinks.
The treatment is by avoiding these predisposing causes.
Applying cold compression to eyelids provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
