Agoraphobia, claustrophobia, space perception difficulties, false sensation of movement.
Consequences in everyday life:
Patients don´t like shopping in large commercial areas or using elevators.
They would rather use roads than highways to drive to their destinations (which seems a paradox).
They don't feel comfortable crossing large squares if there is not a monument in its center.
They show difficulties while parking their cars.
They have a false sensation of rearing movement while in stopped cars (despite no movement of other cars next to them).
Patients grind their teeth during sleep. This is due to a loss of control of the muscles of the mouth. The brain has the wrong information and believes the muscles are relaxed in excess. It then sends a neurological output to contract them. Some patients can´t open their mouth properly and have problems eating solid food.
