Does dizziness cause nystagmus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Dizziness is a very ambiguous and subjective word that can mean many things. Nystagmus is an objective finding. That means, a good doc can examine a patient and determine if they have nystagmus.It means the eyes are rhythmically moving in a particular direction.The direction and speed can be useful in making a diagnosis. Not all dizziness results in nystagmus as nystagmus usually means inner ear.
