Brief Answer:
It may indicate an imbalance of dopamine in the brain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have read your query.

A decreased blink rate may indicate a problem with the dopaminergic pathways of the brain, more precisely it may reflect a compensatory mechanism of production of melatonin and dopamine.

Dopamine imbalances are seen in neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, supranuclear palsy, etc.

So, it is necessary in your case, to see your Neurologist and to discuss with him your issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
