Vision problems...

can anyone help me?

Since having J, i've had quite a few vision issues, that I'm kind of getting worried about. when we found out we had lost J, i was actually sick, i had a head cold. after his funeral, i had a blocked ear for like 2 weeks. eventually a Doctor said i had a sinus infection and put me on antibiotics for 5 days. my ear eventually unblocked, but since then i have also had a ringing in my ears in the other ear and i went to another doctor who said it was really blocked, so i bought some ear wax remover.....don't think that's helped though cause the ringing in the ear is still there....

okay, so one time, maybe a few weeks after J's birth, i had this blurry diagonal line in front of my eyes, and it lasted about 20 minutes. if i closed one eye, it was still there, the other eye, it was still there, and when i closed both eyes, it was still there as well. that night as well, when i was on the computer, it felt like both my eyes went cross eyed!! i completely freaked out, and said to DH, am i cross eyed?? my eyes are funny, do i look cross eyed?? he said my eyes looked fine, but that was exactly what my vision felt like, like my eyes had gone cross-eyed. that only lasted a few minutes thank goodness.

a few weeks after that i had the blurry line again, and that lasted about 20mins as well, and again i got it this morning when i was at a friends house, so that's been 3 times now......and im starting to get worried. the past week or so my neck has been really sore, and this morning i woke up with a killer headache.....

just wondering if my ear problems could be something to do with vision blurriness? for the record, i am going to book an appt with an optometrist, i was just wondering if anyone might have any insight?? thanks.

and should also add that about 8 months ago i had gone to an optometrist who checked my eyes and gave me reading glasses......

TIA :)

i would start with an optometrist and then go from there. they can also refer you to an opthalmologist if needed as well if they find anything nasty happening in your eyes. unfortunately pregnancy can have effects on our eyes that can and can't be reversible.
if they find nothing wrong see your gp and let them know you have already had your eyes checked.

hope everything is ok. :hug:

you could be having migraines, sounds similar to what I started out with getting for mine - no major headache at the time but I was just losing vision. I ended up getting it checked out with a couple of eye specialists but the only answer they came up with was that I now suffer from migraines. I have found that going to a chiro regularly (like every 4 -6 weeks) helps prevent mine. If I leave it longer than that I start to loose my vision again and that's scary.

The eye specialists didn't think the chiro would "solve" my problem and prevent it from returning as much but it has - now I only get migraines about 1-2 times a year. So worth a try if you have one nearby.
