Worrying Symptoms

[hc4361]

Last night I was reading in bed when I suddenly lost total vision in my right eye, as if a vertical curtain had been drawn across it.
After 3 minutes my vision had returned to norma.

Blood pressure usually good, today it is 155/94.

Mild tingling around lips, dull headache.

Should I fret?

I ring your GP tell him what's happened he may well want to check you over

[hc4361]

I think you're probably right

... or drop into your optician this afternoon, they can look into the back of your eye and see if they can spot anything.

I think you need to get you BP down.

I would see GP to be sure. No other symptoms, weakness etc? I'm not sure if migraine can affect only one eye, or if it's always both, but get it checked to be safe.

I agree with pixie.......commonest cause is migraine....however as your BP is abnormally high, it could be a condition known a Amaurosis fugax (Google it)

Take a junior aspirin and pop into casualty.

pixie...thanks.......just had to have time to consider how to deal with rude, insulting and libellous posts made by certain Abers.

Have decided to continue giving the best advice that i consider appropriate.

Good on you Sqad

[ummmm]

Chill...nothing. People disagreed with him and his medical advice, certainly nothing libellous.
