com will take you to all of the available antihistamine info. That same site also says that these antihistamine sleep aids are not for people with glaucoma or kidney disease.
I went to ER and they removed the stinger and gave me antihistamine. It seemed to clear right up. They did not say anything about follow up or give me drops. But everything seemed to be fine. No visual problems or infection. However, I wonder if I will be at an increased risk for glaucoma? My eye was Very swollen (looked terrifying) but only for about 2 hrs.
Medicine from asthma inhalers can also change pupil size. Other causes are excess pressure in one eye due to glaucoma, migraine, seizure, brain tumor or abscess, aneurysm, horner’s syndrome, meningitis, bleeding inside the skull by head injury. If you have any of these causes or if there is blurred vision, double vision, photosensitivity, fever and headache, stiff neck or severe eye pain, go to the emergency immediately. Hope this helps answer some of your doubts. Take care.
How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
An ear, nose and throat specialist saw no infection in my outer ear. He did prescribe a decongestant and antihistamine. Sometimes, the foods I eat causes my constant ear ringing to become worse and my sinuses to become dry. My left ear feels plugged. Any idea on the cause?. My left ear ringing and feeling of fullness are constant. I cannot use nose sprays because I have glaucoma. The vertigo last for about four hours and subsides when I take medication, yet after it, I have diarrhea and gas.
I get post nasal drip and she gets runny nose..both of ours symptoms get resolved if we take antihistamine like cetrizine + montelukast. But if we take fluticasone nasal spray, there is no improvement at all even after month..both of us get no relief from nasal sprays...even tried metaspray (mometasone).
What is the reason behind this?? Is it genetics? Or the corticosteroid is not getting absorbed?
Or its getting absorbed but not producing result.
not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
Are there any other symptoms, like swelling of the eye or the inner lid or redness? Any discharge other than tearing?
It could be an allergic reaction. Also, if this is a new thing, he might have gotten a small scratch in the area that is causing his eye to be mildly irritated.
Try bathing it gently with warm salty water, once or twice, and that might clear it up.
my doctor gives appts month away. emergency rooms so stressful. really nervous.take glaucoma meds, bp meds and met formin. i fear a stroke or wtf else! feeling very woe is me! anyone recognize these symptoms..
Ask your ophthalmologist if you have GPC (giant papillary conjunctivities) which is an allergy to contact lens wear that causes bumps under the eyelid. If so ask him/her about opticrom for treatment of GPC. Google and read about. More likely you have dry eyes. Probably why your contacts started bothering you and lasik can make dry eyes worse. Go to my website and scroll through the blog posts and read the updated article on dry eyes.
The general incidence of glaucoma in the general populations with special risk factors that live a normal life span is 2% among high myopes (and your are barely hi myope and at age 18 very unlikely you will get beyound -7.00) the risk may be double, which sounds bad, but that is only 4% so most high myopes don't get glaucoma. Glaucoma is harder to diagnose because of 2 reasons: 1. The cup/disc ratio is larger in myopes 2. the cornea is generally thinner .
You should see a glaucoma specialist (ophthalmologist with fellowship training in glaucoma) for a full glaucoma evaluation to make sure you do not have the early signs of glaucoma. He/she could check you for narrow angle glaucoma (gonioscopy), pigment dispersion, pseudo-exfoliation, etc. as these are causes of glaucoma frequently missed by non-specialists and they could also perform an optic nerve OCT exam which will demonstrate whether there is any early damage from glaucoma.
I think it very important that you get a second opinion from a glaucoma specialist that you have glaucoma. If you do the preferred treatment is likely NOT drops but SLT or ALT laser. As often as 70% of the time that controls glaucoma and drops are not needed only careful follow up.
Exercises will not help glaucoma, using your eyes does not cause glaucoma. If there is a medical school in Costa Rica that might work.
My guess is that glaucoma cannot be easily detected. Yes, there maybe idications of glaucoma if a patient has an elevated IOP and c/d ratio. However, the cause of those things may not be glaucoma. Although, the first possible cause on the list may be glaucoma, it may not be the correct diagnosis, which is why the other tests are called for.
But this is all just a guess since I'm not a doctor. Why not just ask your ophthalmologist?
Glaucoma does not cause myopia but a developing cataract often causes increasing levels of myopia. Your glaucoma seems fairly mild so you should have no problem with cataract surgery. People with glaucoma have cataract surgery all the time. I did 2 patients much like you today. Now if glaucoma is severe and uncontolled on 2 or 3 meds, them sometimes a glaucoma filtering surgrey is combined with the cataract surgery - but that is not your case.
My father was diagnosed with glaucoma roughly 5-6 years ago. The glaucoma was quite rapid, and is uncurable. The best doctors can do is slow down the process of him losing his sight. He has been in hospital on countless occasions, and has had many serious operations.
I've heard Glaucoma is genetic. Being the anxious individual i am, i am somewhat cautious as to whether or not i will be affected by Glaucoma. As of what is known at the present time, no other family members have had Glaucoma.
1. glaucoma can be difficult to diagnose and often requires special tests. So yes you could have glaucoma and not show up with retina exam
2. THere are other causes of halos than glaucoma.
I suggest you get your general care from a comprehensive general ophthalmologist instead of an optometrist. Find one near you at www.aao.
There are 4 types of glaucoma medications for glaucoma that work by different mechanisms. So maximum glaucoma therapy would be being on all 4 types. Note this is not 4 brands but 4 types: 1. prostaglandin analogue 2. carbonic anhydrase inhibitor 3. beta blocker 4. alpha adrenergic receptor agonist
Your father would need to be on all 4 types for maximum therapy.
