Visual disturbances

[Just Me]

I had visual disturbances from an iron deficiency while I was pregnant.

Wow looks like a few things can cause it! I haven't had the GD test yet, got the slip to go though. I had a middy appt one week ago and all was fine then so hoping it's nothing sinister!

I suggest getting your BP checked as could be pre eclampsia.

Good luck

I had that, when I had issues with my blood pressure.

Definitely call and arrange a check up, just in case.

I get the falling stars when my blood pressure is up and its quiet common to be a symptom of pre eclampsia so if it happens again be sure to get checked out. Also possible to be dehydration. Goodluck I hope its nothing

I have also had the falling stars visual disturbance twice which don't last long the first time was when I was in the shower and then when I picked something up from the floor then stood up again. I spoke to my doctor and she said its probably because my blood pressure is a bit low and asked whether I get dissy with it. I don't get dissy with it though. Interesting how some people say it could be diabeties. I have this test in a couple of weeks time so I will keep you posted.

It's quite scary actually. I was a bit embarrassed telling the doctor I just called it floaters not lights when I described it. Didn't realize other people get it until I read this forum
