What is the reason for stiffening fingers and pulsating eyelid?
Patient: hi, i am experiencing stiffening of my fingers, at first i ignored it but i noticed it happens more often now. Most of it at night. And the lid of my right eye is often pulsating, it has been more than a week now. What could be the cause of my concerns? Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your query.First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your current symptoms.They are most likely due to over-strain of muscles and fatigue. It would improve with rest.However, if you do not get better in a few more days, then, a brain scan should be done to exclude any ischemia (lack of blood flow to the brain). Also, thyroid profile and vitamin B12 level should be checked.I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.Wishing you good health,Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)Senior Consultant NeurologistApollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, IndiaClick on this link to ask me a DIRECT QUERY: http://bit.ly/Dr-Sudhir-kumarMy BLOG: http://bestneurodoctor.blogspot.in
