Dizziness

Nystagmus may be related to an issue in the vestibular system of the inner ear. In these circumstances, dizziness is a common symptom. Dizziness that makes the person feel as though they're about to faint is commonly associated with decreased cerebral blood flow rather than nystagmus.

When dizziness is associated with the vestibular system, it's commonly characterized as lightheadedness or disorientation. In these situations, the person may also appear to be uncoordinated or have balance difficulties.
