“Was it actually in the eyeball or surrounding your eye?”
In the eye. Increasing tunnel vision and sensitivity to light.
Started on a Saturday. Sunday my wife drove the 350 miles back home. At the GP office when they opened up.
He got me right in. On seeing me he called an Ophthalmologist to check if they had the drugs needed. Thirty minutes later I was being treated.
Wow. Glad you’re ok. It’s amazing how these things can pop up out of the blue like that. Did they find a cause?
I was going on a hike a week ago Tuesday and hit the wall at 1/4 mile. Something was really wrong — extreme fatigue and out of breath. Figured it was just the 81 degree temp. Tried again on Weds and it was even worse, so I went right to the ER and got treated right away. CAT Scan found pulmonary embolism! Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would hit me. Doc said was probably a “provoked” case caused by COVID last April. Got meds and I am back to hiking without any problems. Did 5 miles and 600 foot climb today in 80 degree temps no problem Just turned 73 yesterday, too.
Glad you’re ok.
I had it in my eye itself as well as around my eye and side of my face. My doc sent me to an ophthalmologist. He was very concerned and said it could lead to blindness and put me on oral and topical meds. Thankfully it cleared up. But boy it was painful.
