One eyebrow is very much higher than the other and this happened recently in 2 years (Photo)

I face fatigue almost all the time in my eyes and whenever my eyebrow gets raised I can literally feel or sense it without seeing it. It looks very odd. I am not sure if this ptosis or muscle tension in my eyebrows. I didn’t even get any type of surgery done before. Please help me.
