Question: My son is 15 years old, is 6'1'', and is very healthy young man. Lately, he has been gaming on his computer he received for xmas. In the last week, he has complained of dizziness when he lays down in bed and his eyes wandering to the left. Should I be concerned? or is this a case of eye strain from playing too many computer games?
Brief Answer:
possible eye strain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
It is very possible that these symptoms might be just due to staying to long in front of his computer.
Playing for long hours in computer ,can make that muscles that control eye movements to overwork and get tired causing a eye strain.
Also the muscle of the neck ,spine ,face are put into pressure and can cause symptoms of eye tenderness ,headache ,dizziness and problems with eye coordination.
I suggest to wait some days and see what happen.
He need to rest a lot,avoid computer and TV (totally) for some days , sleep well and drink plenty of water.
If his symptoms doesn't seem to improve , consult a physician and get him examined.
Hope I was able to help.If you have any further question I will be happy to help. Wish your son a quick and complete recovery.
Take care
