Hello, : Hello, there are a number of possible reasons that you left eye could be red & painful. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the surface of the eyeball and is commonly known as "pink eye." it might just be from irritation to the eye or allergies. If it is caused by a virus or bacteria, it could be quite contagious. Your eyes could be bloodshot because they are irritated by a variety of things like wind, dry air, cold exposure, dust, etc. The fact that your eye is red and painful by itself, does not mean that you are having a stroke or a heart attack. What would be of particular concern would be eye pain with a change to your vision. If that occurs i would recommend being seen right away. Because you have a complicated medical history, if this does not resolve fairly quickly i would notify your doctor.

A : A red eyes has nothing to do with your heart or stroke issues. Go to your eye doctor and the solution will most likely be a simple one that can be treated with special drops.

Red : Red eye indicates inflammation of the conjunctiva. There is a long list conditions that can do this. Some are benign and some can be serious. It is highly unlikely this is related to another heart attack or stroke. But I do recommend an evaluation by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
