Hello and thank you for being part of our virtual clinic! I understand your concern and I hope to help you a lot with the above info: Hallucinations are essentially a false perception of objects and or events that involve our main senses such as sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. 1. Visual hallucinations are commonly attributed to mental dysfunction however there are a number of physical conditions that may result in visual hallucinations when no apparent mental disorder is present. Sleep deprivation is a well documented case in which people begin to see things that are not there after a prolonged period without rest. Fortunately, these symptoms resolve when adequate sleep is obtained. So if you see something that isn’t there during a period of sleep deprivation, it might be time to get some rest. 2. A high fever is another non dysfunctional mental state that may result in seeing false imagery. High fever hallucinations are varied in scale and details. They range from simple fuzzy vision to full on imaginary scenes. 3. Stress is another physical state of being that can cause or exacerbate both visual and audio hallucinations 4. Auditory hallucinations relate to the perception of certain sounds without any external sound source. Stress, anxiety, trauma and depression are also sometimes associated with this problem. They have also been reported when people feel overly tired or exhausted. I would advise the patient: - To take the flu medication, anti fever therapy , multivitamin, plenty of water and plenty of rest If she is having chronic sleeping problems you need to know: a.
