Warning Signs Of Cervical Dystonia

Extreme Exhaustion

Cervical dystonia can lead to extreme exhaustion, though not everyone with the condition will experience the same levels of tiredness and exhaustion. Having cervical dystonia doesn't mean an individual is more predisposed to fatigue or tiredness due to their brain chemistry. But when their muscles experience this kind of spasticity, there's a high likelihood of they will be kept awake during the night. Patients may wake up in pain when their muscles spasm, or they might have trouble getting to sleep because of the pain. If individuals are in pain while they sleep, their sleep quality may be restless and disturbed, so they may feel like they haven't slept at all in the morning. On top of interrupted sleep patterns, the pain from cervical dystonia can drain a patient's energy by itself, by pulling a lot of focus and awareness. The body has to use a lot of energy to fight off the pain, which can make it difficult to perform day-to-day tasks.
