Weird sensation when moving eyes

Greetings,

I am not sure whether this is particularly an eye problem, but the symptom is in fact triggered during the eye movement. Whenever trying to look left and right (moving the eyeballs), I get a weird immediate sense of dizziness in my head, and it feels like a pulse is going through the brain and is also felt in the fingertips. It only happens when I move my eyeballs all the way to the left or all the way to the right, does not occur when looking up or down.

I had this problem couple times before, but it did not last for more than 4-5 hours. This time it is the second day in a row that this happens, and I am starting to get worried.

Thank you for your help.

You need your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist to determine what's going on. That is an unusual symptoms. Find an eye MD at www.aao.org
