Signs Of Tardive Dyskinesia

Sway From Side To Side

Not all patients with tardive dyskinesia only deal with facial issues. Though rare, it is possible for this movement disorder to affect the brain's ability to control other parts of the body. Since tardive dyskinesia tends to cause small, repeated motions, this can manifest as an uncontrollable swaying motion. Some may sway from front to back, but a sway from side to side is far more common. Swaying may manifest itself regardless of whether a patient is sitting or standing. Since it involves the entire body, it can be a very exhausting symptom. Swaying tends to come and go. This sort of symptom may occur randomly and last for several minutes, but it typically is not a nonstop issue. Some patients find when they lay down, the swaying is less likely to occur, so they can get some relief by being in a bed.
