Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi everyone - his afternoon, I went to bed for a nap. Had trouble waking up, and when I came to, my sight was fixed on the light switch on the wall opposite. Suddenly, as I was looking, I had double vision, which was quite fuzzy. Looked away a couple of times, and then looked back to see, if I would see the same, which I did. Just wondering what might be causing it? All the best - Carole ^^~~^^~~^^~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Carole, there are so many different things that can cause double vision. I get it when I am constipated. I also had it a lot before my cataract surgery. Best for you to tell your doctor since even certain pain meds can cause this as well.Let us know how you make out.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Noreen, if I can make even one person laugh, then I consider it a good day. Have no idea what the connection is between my blurred vision and constipation, just know it happens and has been happening for many years.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi, this is C. I just wanted to add my two cents about double vision. I had it once. When my brother Jim passed away from Leukemia I had gotten so upset since it was kind of sudden when it happened. I couldn't control my crying and my blood pressure was sky high, since I have high BP anyway so the Doctor put me on Xanax. Everything was double while I took it. When I stopped, it went away. The Doctor told me it might be the medicine doing it to me. So, I stopped it and he was right. Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
