Symptoms of Dystonia
Dystonia symptoms may differ significantly from patient to patient, depending on the region of the body affected and the severity of the condition. Symptoms typically include:
- Involuntary muscle contractions
- Involuntary twisting movements
- Spasmodic torticollis (tightness or pulling in the side of the neck)
- Blepharospasm (uncontrollable, fast blinking of the eyelids)
- Spasmodic dysphonia (voice tremor)
- Meige syndrome (involuntary movements of the jaw or lower face)
Symptoms of dystonia can worsen if you are fatigued or stressed.
