Some people experience problems with their functioning related to how their brain and nervous system interact. The issue is caused by a mixup in signals between the brain and other bodily functions. This syndrome can impact a person significantly in their daily lives. Some persons experience chronic symptoms, while others only have occasional issues. Anyone experiencing symptoms should track the frequency and severity for proper treatment by a healthcare provider. Here are some early signs of the condition.

Seizures

A person with a functional neurological disorder can have various symptoms. One frequent occurrence among those who have the condition is nonepileptic seizures. Nonepileptic seizures result from a brain malfunction rather than a faulty electrical signal in the brain. This type of seizure can result in a person losing consciousness, confusion and brief memory loss or ability to focus. Seizures can result in more physical damage to a person from a fall or possible danger if the person losses consciousness.

Muscle Spasms

Persons who have this brain impairment may experience muscle spasms. This includes sudden involuntary movements of muscles in addition to longer-lasting muscle quivering. Muscle spasms can be distracting and painful for a person who experiences them. Muscle spasms can also impact a person's ability to function normally.

Speech Issues

A person who has this disorder may experience difficulties with their speech. This can include slurring of words, stuttering or abnormal speech patterns. Having these issues may make the person unwilling to engage in regular social interaction for fear of how they will be able to respond during dialogue.

Weakness or Paralysis of the Extremities

With a deficit in how the brain sends signals to the nervous system, people can experience weakness in their limbs. This may promote a feeling of tiredness or inability to complete everyday activities of daily living. Some persons experience paralysis of the arms or legs. Paralysis results in the inability to move and function normally.

Vision Problems

This neurological issue can also cause people to have problems with their vision. The vision might blur as a person tries to read or focus on something. Sometimes persons experience double vision. Vision issues can affect a person's ability to work, drive and complete other necessary tasks.

Shaking of Body

Another symptom of problems with a person's brain signals is uncontrollable tremors. Tremors are small movements that resemble the shaking of various body parts. A person with tremors may be distracted or uncomfortable in situations where they have to interact with other people. The vibration may result in others showing concern for a person's well-being.

Distorted Balance

This disorder can also wreak havoc on a person's natural balance. If someone's balance is off, they may have difficulty walking or standing. A distorted balance can also cause a person to fall or have feelings of dizziness. If someone's balance is way off, they will probably need to lie down or remain stationary until the symptoms improve to protect themselves from unwanted accidents.

Numbness

Another symptom of the neurological disorder is numbness in various body parts, usually the extremities. Numbness can create an inability to feel possible dangers such as sharp objects. It can also make it hard for a person to grip things or move around. A person who experiences numbness may be limited regarding the tasks they can complete.

A brain disorder can cause many problems in their daily lives. The cause of the failure of the brain to properly signal the nervous system in some people is unknown. Treatments focus on several factors that may contribute to the disorder, including problems while being born and ongoing mental and emotional stress issues.
