A member asked:
Following open heart surgery i've had a very stiff neck and shoulders and when sitting for a while and moving head up and down i get double vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Double vision: The surgery and being in hospital as well as stress around the procedure could cause the stiff neck muscles. However, double vision is not likely due to the stiff neck. I would have an evaluation and discuss this with your primary MD.
