Common Questions and Answers about Mini stroke blurred vision
stroke
I was just wondering, what do you do during a mini stroke? Do you get up and start walking around to get the blood flow going, (that's what I do), or do you sit down and relax? It's crazy that this mini stroke came back into my life! I had it come and go for about six months when I was younger back in 2006. When it happened back then, my whole right side of my body was paralyzed.
Hey guys i believe that i had a mini stroke this past friday but know on eis giving me the time of the day. the doctor was in and out within5 minutes.
two of my fingers went numb followed by blurred vision. i went to call 911 and then couldnt speak and also had a hard time thinking. this was also followed my throwing up. since friday ive stuttered a little here and there. any thought as if you think it was a mini stroke?????
My vision gets blurred and I feel light headed or dizzy. Sometimes my vision randomly gets blurred, without the headache. I'm walking, sitting or doing nothing and it comes out of nowhere. I just can't see. I'm 24 years old...too young for anything serious?? I don't want to go back to the doctor if it's just part of the headaches or the flu or something that isn't important. What should I do????
I am 78 and had a mini stroke 11 Jun 2014. I was placed in the hospital for overnight observation and was released the following day to my family doctor. I have high blood pressure so he placed me on Exforge 10-325-25mg HCT and also Clopidogrel 75mg
In the hospital I had a MRA, MRI, CATSCAN, Chest Xray and several blood tests. I lost peripheral vision in the left eye. When I left the hospital I had this slight lump across from my left ear about 1 inch long pointing to the top of my head.
Although a stroke can manifest as a transient visual disturbance, that is relatively unusual. But something is going on, and you best have it checked out. Anything having to do with vision is VERY important. You cannot be turned down for medical assistance in the event of possible blindness because of financial reasons. If it happens? Good! Take them to court! (Just make sure that you sue for the cost of a chauffer).
The same thing happened to me yesterday. Driving on the freeway and out of nowhere my vision became blurred. I tried quickly shaking my head to snap out of it but no luck. I pulled to the side of the road and continued to shake my head and open & shut my eyes but my vision was still blurry. It felt nore like it was cross eyed than blurry. I covered one eye at a time to see if it was a problem with one or the other. Each time i covered an eye i was able to see clearly ...
Do others suggest TIA, stroke or Bell's palsy as the cause? Have there been any tests on which some of the doctors are basing their myasthenia gravis diagnosis on? From what I can see, myasthenia gravis is a problem with the immune system producing anti-bodies that attack one's own body, but with your father's history of stroke, I wonder if he couldn't have suffered a kind of mini-stroke?
Could he have had a mini-stroke? He never said it was just one side. He said it was his whole body. He also said it lasted like seconds or minutes not long. He didn't slur his speech or have severe headache before hand. But his brain is not right he says. I believe him when he said his head is off and not clear. I don't know if anyone else has had mild symptoms with a TIA and not the typical symptoms (one sided, blurred vision or speech etc). Any thoughts??
Hi
I am a 54 year old woman who is pretty healthy, but suddenly started having problems
I was sent to a neurologist as I was having sudden dizzy spells, or rather where my head was spinning with loss of vision,sometimes double vision or perhaps better described as blurred vision and the sensation of my body pulling to one side, these attacks would occur without warning and only last a few minutes ,
the worst attack was whilst driving where i got double vision and then I lost my sight altogethe
the numbness then spreads to my right leg and to the right side of my face. I get blurred vision in my right eye, my speach becomes slurred and basicaly cant fuction normally for about 2 hours while this is happening. It is sacry and a really gross feeling to the point where i sometimes vomit.
I have had a few theorys, one GP said they are mini strokes but another is sending me off for a cat scan to check for a tumor.
The reason I had the doplar was due to unexplained blurred vision. When I was given the results over the phone by the nurse, all I was told was that it wasn't enough blockage to do anything about. I am concerned due to a strong history of strokes in the females in my family, and the unexplained blurred vision.
Thank you.
However, the fatigue is very bad, and I am having a hard time reading as well due to very blurred vision. Is this typical, or perhaps better stated, is this something others have experienced? What OTC medication has helped? So far the meds I have taken help alleviate the congestion but I have a feeling they may be aggravating the fatigue and blurred vision.
I have been having persistent and frequent headaches for months now. Usually they are focused on one side of my head, but then can switch to the other side...but is most frequently on my right side. Some have lasted days, others are sharp and only last for a short period of time. I've been using ibuprofen, which sometimes works, and sometimes does nothing at all. On this side, I've also been having some vision problems with my right eye.
at the onset of the infection of the West Nile virus, it was noted by the patient that there were noticeable problems with his vision. His forward vision seemed dim and somewhat blurry often. His peripheral vision was cloudy and dark. What treatments are available to prevent the vision loss?

I, too hve pain in my left eye and blurred vision (my left side was affected due to the stroke). The opthomologist did ststae my eyes suffered nerve damage (nystagmus). He stated that the pain was due to extreme dry and not the stroke. I had an eye exam prior to my stroke and my vision was ok. I am going to schedule an eye exam to see what they tell me....I hope to follow up with better news.
So, from talking to the doctor's office and actually I had already been diagnosed with this ( I've had some mini-strokes in the past).
I am going to go in and follow-up and get more testing. I need to talk to the doctor to find out if old events like those can cause new symptoms or if maybe I have had more than one stroke like event. We shall see.
My doctor also said that some things may not be definite or totally diagnosed for quite some time.
problems that affect children do not cause constant blurred distance vision and occasional blurred near vision...but she doesn't know that.
Recently I have found one other cause for this type of complaint, which is too much phone texting combined with computer time. Hopefully a child her age neither has a cell phone nor plays on the phones of other children. But if so, immediately eliminate her texting ability. Limit her computer time to "homework projects only".
I may be getting the Restor lens explanted from my left eye. I have been considering mini mono-vision, but believe that my left eye is my dominant eye. My right eye has already been done and the vision, is 20/25, but was 20/20 before PCO set in. This may revert back to 20/20 after Yag.
Question: Can the dominant eye be set for mini mono-vision? I thought that it was suppose to dominant for distance, non-dominant for mono. Please may I hear from you.
