Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: People perform at their best when healthy, getting adequate restorative  sleep, balanced nutrition &amp; working in a comforting setting. The symptoms cited are vague &amp; overlap with many possible problems. You need to schedule a visit with your doc to sort it out.

Question 2

high blood pressure , headache + double vision.  checked over at a+e and given painkillers. how long approx will double vision last?

Accepted Answer

See an eye doctor: Too little information to tell. Anywhere from the time it takes to put on prism glasses if it is a 6th nerve palsy to several months or years of anti VEGF injections if you have macular edema from a retinal vein occlusion or diabetic retinopathy. If it is from high intracranial pressure due to a brain tumor.....well, you get my drift.......

Go see an eye doctor ASAP.

Question 3

our doctor was no clue with her systoms. they are double vision,dizziness,conpation,feeling sick, high stress,fatique and high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Many issues: There are many issues here-if your doctor "has no clue", check with a new doctor.  Very high blood pressure (&gt;200) could cause these sx. Double vision has many causes including serious ones like stroke and multiple sclerosis that must be ruled out. Gen'lzed fatigue and dizziness have long lists of potential causes. Stress can cause all the sx, but is a diagnosis of exclusion after a full checkup.

Accepted Answer

I : I would recommend returning to the er as soon as possible.  The combination of ataxia (staggering) and diplopia (double vision) would indicate a stroke in the brainstem, which would not be visible on a ct scan.  A MRI is the diagnostic test of choice.

Question 5

does double vision happen when your blood pressure is high?

Accepted Answer

Diplopia, high BP: Yes hypertension can cause double vision ( diplopia). This is due to an ischemic event in the brain stem as a consequence of the high blood pressure.

Question 6

can high blood pressure affect the vision?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Acute rise in blood pressure especially severe may result in visual disturbance. Chronic uncontrolled high blood pressure may also cause visual changes.

Question 7

can high blood pressure cause wavy vision?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Unless the pressure is staggeringly high, there is usually no effect on the vision.  Wavy vision should be investigated by your ophthalmologist especially if it is of recent onset.  Blood pressure does need control for other reasons (heart, brain) but not for alterations in eye vision.

Question 8

how does having high blood pressure effect vision?

Accepted Answer

Can damage vessels: High  blood pressure can damage the fragile vessels of the eyes. This is called hypertensive retinopthy  this can cause blindness.

Question 9
