Avatar n tn Later my left face was numb, my wife said I had stroke in my face. I ignored her comment.and went home. Next day visited my GP who said it was mini stroke. The treating at Hospital told me that he received my MRI test report which indicated that my blindness was due to accummulated wide spread of white matter at back of my brain which blocked my vision which had resulted in my blindness.

Avatar f tn Hi i am 33 and had never really suffered with headaches, but about a month ago went into casualty thinking i was having a stroke because out of the blue got zig zag lines and partial blindness followed by a bad headache, then a couple of days ago got it again out of the blue, i do suffer with anxiety and neck tension quite a bit but do worry as my mum died from a stroke at only 41, what is suddenly causing them?
Avatar m tn There are a number of diseases that can lead to permanent blindness. Also, blindness is a vague term. There is legal blindness, functional blindness, etc. Dr. O.
Avatar f tn HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED TEMPORARY ABSOLUTE BLINDNESS? I WAS UNDERGOING A SPLIT LAMP EXAMINATION AT THE OPTOMETRISTS AND AT THE VERY START OF THE EXAMINATION WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE LIGHT, I LOST ALL SIGHT IN MY LEFT EYE. A BLACKNESS THAT WAS TERRIFYING. MY SIGHT RETURNED BUT THAT WAS ALSO A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. I WENT FROM BLACK TO DARK, DARK TO DARK WITH AN OUTLINE OF OBJECTS, THEN IT CONTINUED IN THE MANNER OF A DIMMER SWITCH IN REVERSE UNTIL I HAD MY VISION BACK.
Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar m tn Hi i have a question about night blindness.
Avatar f tn Psycological causes could be but would be the last thing considered only after all disease causes ruled out. No association.
Avatar f tn The most important ones to rule out would be stroke (done by ER doctor) and diabetes. Was your blood sugar normal? Other causes can be migraines without the headache and rare eye muscle spasm disorders. You need to see an M.D. Ophthalmologist who specializes in Strabismus. Best wishes, Timothy D. McGarity, M.D.

Avatar f tn What causes prostatomegaly(enlarged prostate)...is caused by a urinary infection or is it caused by HORMONE IMBALANCE? Is it caused by a STD?
Avatar n tn How long ago was your stroke? What kind of stroke did you have? What does your doctor have to say about the migraines?
Avatar n tn hi, my name is jessica and i want to know if stress causes blindness and can the doctors detect if you are about to be blind because of stress? because i am always stressed and worried about everything and sometimes my eyes gets really uncomfortable and has pain. i read somewhere that a person's brain will alter the psychological impact into a physical abnormality such as blindness. please help: i am really concerned.
Avatar m tn A week ago I woke up to my entire bed literally soaked with sweat. I had kicked all the covers off and turned down the thermostat to 50F. I don't remember doing any of that. When I woke up the vision in my left eye was awful, it went back to normal after about 15 minutes. I have had a growing pain behind my right eye and areas around it ever since. My vision comes and goes only in that eye. Its very painful and I don't have good enough insurance to afford expensive tests...
Avatar f tn If you are having some TIA (min-stroke) type activity, getting treatment to try to prevent a full-blown stroke needs to begin TODAY!
639773 tn?1401021974 m asking how common is it and some stroke like symptoms I had for over a month, slurred speech, right leg weakness foot drop, gait disorder,hyperactive reflexs, vertigo vomiting, double vision fainting,and lack of memory of for 12 hours. How long a average attack lasts? I give a detailed history that should be helpful. It wasn't a good experience. I also wanted to know once you start having these attacks, how often are they likely to reoccur?
