It is usually due to anxiety that the lid flutters. It may last a few weeks since a layer of involuntary muscle gets irritated due to adrenalin in the system. Control anxiety and use lubricant drops. Put a small piece of cellotape on the lid margin for counter irritation, it works!
Next Steps
Anxiety management and a complete eye check up
