Erratic Eye movement issue

[mkhazeni]

Ok I am new to this site but I will write about what something I think plagues me only so far. As a child I was diagnosed with Dyslexia this was early 90's so what ever Dyslexia is now may be a different definition to then, I have had over the years some Counseling for what may be depression, and was given some sort of anti-depressent by the doctor on the request of my college. Although I have never been diagnosed with depression, I do believe I have some form of this disorder. I have this view of the world that seems clouded, seriously confused all the time and, I know I have anxiety and panic attacks, I cannot deal with bars and places with loud music and lots of people as I go deaf and cannot focus on on person. And the main issue that I seem to have these days and for the past 6 years at least is my shifting eyes, even when in quiet places when I talk to people I cannot focus on a person in front of me. My eyes shift to their foreheads, I cannot explain why this happens although all I can confirm it has been happening for many years, it cropped up last night when I was talking to my friends sister last night who became paranoid when my eyes started going up and down up and down.... and so on. Any body have previous experience of the eyes issue I would be greatful

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!

There is a possibility that you have developed squint. What you have is probably a vertical squint, which is the rarer form. Since this developed in adulthood, you should get it investigated thoroughly with the help of an eye specialist and a neurologist. Also you could be suffering from refractive errors that can cause minor squint.
It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. Do let me know if there is any thing else you want to know and please keep me posted. Take care!

Have you had your blood sugar checked?  When blood sugar drops your eyes can move and you have no control at what you are looking at.  Blood sugar levels can drop when stressed or in stessful situations or environment.  When blood sugar drops, what I do is eat cheese with crackers and this helps within 20 minutes.  If the drop is severe, you want to drink juice.  Have your blood sugar levels checked and your iron levels checked.
