Question 1

having blackouts w/high pitch ringing just before. once i hear this all will go black.  lasts  secs to mins. eyes flutter or roll back sometimes.

Accepted Answer

I&#x27;m not a : ....Neurologist but sounds like a seizure with an aura. Visit your doc asap, hopefully is nothing serious but needs evaluation.

Question 2

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 3

symptoms don't show up for weeks. have sudden sickness. nauseous, feel like passing out. eye rolls, but aware, sudden fear, eyes fluttering. body shakes with nausea and feeling of passing out. some days symptoms stay for weeks. panic attack?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 4

what causes my 3 month old's eyes to flutter from side to side occasionally?

Accepted Answer

Eye fluttering: Your baby probably has nystagmus. Have her checked by a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Question 5

is involuntary eye movement always nystagmus? maybe once every few months when im on my phone too long my eyes will flutter so fast, it lasts like 1/10th of a second and normal again. its so fast. looks nothing like nystagmus videos ive seen?

Accepted Answer

: Your description is perhaps  consistent with orbital myokymia, and can be associated with fatigue and visual strain.  Your ophthalmologist can evaluate this further.

Question 6

i have been suffering a headache behind my eyes, fluttering in my stomach, cramping in my very lower tummy and have been feeling sick what is this?

Accepted Answer

Likely dehydration!: If you were much older, high pressure in your eyes could cause this scenario, but i would guess it is the dehydration that is causing your eye pain or the stress from the temporal muscles!

Question 7

why sometimes my eyes or some body parts flutter on its own?

Accepted Answer

This is : Associated with fatigue and caffeine use.  It is a nerve discharging on its own.

Question 8

my daughter is in a coma her eyes are open all the time and her lashes also flutter. can she see us standing by her bedside?

Accepted Answer

See below: Very sorry to hear this.  Without more information about her illness, it would be very difficult to even speculate as to her awareness.  If she is truly in a "coma" as described by physicians, she is likely not fully aware or you but human consciousness is an incredibly complicated entity.  I would never rule out anything.  She may not appear aware but her unconscious may be.  Praying for you.

Question 9

i've been experiencing zig zag shaped lines in the outer corners of my eyes. they seem to be the shape of my eye from the top to the bottom only. they flutter and appear silver in color and when i get them i also get a headache with them. what is causing

Accepted Answer

I : I agree--this is a typical or classic migraine--you see the zig zag pulshing lines and then usually 20 minutes or so after they disappear, comes the headache.  If this happen once a month or more--see your internist who may recommend a medicine you can take when you see the lines that may stop or lessen the headache.

Question 10

my eyes have rolled to the back of my head and fluttered before a couple of times. felt my body jerking and shaking a couple of times with my eyes rolled back. first doctor said it was nothing and didn't check for anything. what could be happening?

Accepted Answer

: Not feasible to pinpoint what is occurring but a few guidelines:  if you take certain medications, you might experience oculogyric crises; one might ponder pre-syncope  or even seizure episodes.  Obtain a second opinion, consider seeing a neurologist.  You might avoid  driving, use of power equipment, activity at heights, until this is diagnosed.
