Nystagmus Voluntary

The problem of voluntary nystagmus is a condition that is manifested by periodic involuntary eye movements (nystagmus), as well as restlessness, noise and tearing. Most often, this disorder occurs due to a psycho-emotional state, tension or stress that is provoked by a person. However, cases of such a problem as a congenital genetic defect are not uncommon. This may be a sign of various diseases related to the central nervous system.

Most often, voluntary nystagmus is present in acute delirium. It is characterized by the patient's systematic drawing of attention to objects even in the absence of any reaction. It is also possible to have illusions or hallucinations. An attack of this condition lasts from several hours to several days, while the severity of consciousness can vary. Symptoms include:

involuntary eye movement; restless behavior due to the sensation of a strong sound (for example, a ticking clock); blepharospasm; unsteadiness; weakness; constipation; elevated body temperature. Sometimes an attack can last for several decades. In some cases, the cause of the disease is unknown, but it may appear as a complication after a stroke (heart attack).

Treatment may require specialized mental health care. The doctor may use medications to reduce symptoms and stabilize the patient's condition. Important to remember,
