Question 1

what can cause uncontrollable random eye jitters/movements?

Accepted Answer

Nystagmus?: I am not sure what do you mean by jitters? If the eyeball moves, then this is nystagmus and this is related to some kind of brain and congenital problem. If you mean movement of the eyelids, then this is eyelid spasm and these are sign of facial tics. The facial tic could be related to stress, Potassium deficiency, or some other problems. So please see a neurologist for either of these problems.

Question 2

what illnesses cause sudden severe drowsiness with uncontrollable eye movements and inability to focus vision, at least 1 x a day for past 2 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Drop in blood pressu: if I were you, if you could, I would do a formal consult. Very difficult to advise you based on a question. You need a question and answer session. Based on what you are describing, I can only conclude that your blood pressure is dropping. But you need a formal consult.

Question 3

i have uncontrolled rapid eye movement where my eyes flutter up and down at least 10 times a day or more this happened all my life, what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Flutter: Fluttering eye movements may be an oscillopsia or blepharospasm.  Oscillopsia is a normal finding, often inherited-- as long as you don't find distortion in your vision, it is benign-- blepharospasm is usually benign as well and can be caused by dry eye, stress, caffeine, allergy, or fatigue.

Question 4

what neurological disorder causes rapid eye blinking especially under stress as well as head movements?

Accepted Answer

Motor Tics: Motor tics are common and this is related to stress and it is one of the common movement disorders, motor tic commonly presents as eye blinking, gesturing of the face, head movement, shoulder thrusting and other sudden limb or trunk movement.
Tics are involuntary but it can suppressed and aggrevated by stress also they are waxing and waning in occurrence.

Question 5

can nucynta (tapentadol) 100mgs cause hallucinations and uncontrollable rapid eye movement with eye pain w it?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: There have been post- marketing case reports of Nucynta (tapentadol) causing hallucinations.  I did not see any reference to rapid eye movements or eye pain associated with it. It would be a good idea to see an optometrist to see if you have glaucoma which many central nervous system drugs can trigger. A neurology or ophthalmologist should evaluate you for causes of nystagmus, the rapid eye movements

Diabetic Hypoglycemi: In a diabetic, if your sugar levels are too low you may experience Dizziness, shakiness, confusion, forgetfulness, fast heartbeat, inability to concentrate, and irritability/moodiness.
