Last night around 11:00 I started to get double vision while I was browsing the web. I had been off my blood thinners for about 8 days because I had undergone an colonoscopy and they don’t want you to be on blood thinners when doing that procedure. I thought I might be getting a blood clot so I took the blood thinner that I had been scheduled to start last night. I then went to the hospital, All the tests didn’t show any problems but I was still experiencing double visions. By around 4:00AM my vision had cleared. Test continued today and nothing was found. They have called it a transient condition and wanted me to get my blood thinners under control. So I’m back home taking it easy, hoping that by Friday the appropriate levels will be reached. -- I've been blessed with a father who liked to tinker in wood, and a wife who lets me tinker in wood.

Ohhhhhh, Karson. THAT’s one that I know a thing or two about. May they find its cause, and get it under control. It’s no fun … no fun at all. -- -- Neil |

Karson sounds like you suffered a transient ischemic attack or TIA for short. They are usually caused by a decrease in blood flow to an area in the brain. Sometimes a TIA is a precursor to something much more serious, a stroke. I’m glad that you are home and the symptoms have resolved. Another cause could have also been a spike in blood pressure. Keep up with the meds and mend quickly. -- My job is to give my kids things to discuss with their therapist....medic20447@gmail.com |
