Dang, 2J! Glad the docs didn’t leave you hanging or anything /s. How does this figure into your high blood pressure? Or does it? LSA

Personally, I think it’s a stroke from when I had the episode back in March where I woke up disoriented. My vision’s been blurry ever since. I don’t think it has anything to do with the cause for the BP so that remains up in the air.

The thing is, my vision in that right eye fluctuates badly. When my pressure goes up, I can’t hardly see anything through that right eye and when I had that massive headache a few weeks back, I lost the vision in the right side of that right eye completely for a little while.

See, the nerve that comes from this area of the brain (colliculus) actually goes to the right side of the right eye...so it stands to reason that’s the area that’s being impacted.

At this point this is all speculation on my part...I’ll know more after I speak with the neurologist. I have an appointment with her on the 20th. I will know if this is serious or not if she calls and bumps up that date.
