I'm losing my sight

Good day friends I was very scared today. At one point I felt something was happening to my eyes, my vision. I had a feeling that I was losing my sight, the pictures started to double in front of my eyes, I was going down the stairs and the stairs were elongated, when I saw my son, I saw him twice and I managed to tell him that I could not see well. It lasted a few minutes and it passed. I know that stress leaves consequences on my health, but this scared me. Do you know what happened to me? Have you had a similar situation?

Oh! That does not sound good. Simple reason can be some change in vitals like sugar levels or blood pressure . It would be better to consult a doctor. I could not make out anything from start of your post.

I was scared because it was a horrible feeling. My aunt thinks it might be eye pressure. I was wrong, I deleted that part, because it was in my language.

@Nevena83 Did you consult any doctor to rule out any possible seriousness?? I hope it's nothing much to worry about. Oh! I guess your language is Spanish... Just a wild guess

That is very scary. I would call my eye doctor immediately. I'm pretty sure stress wouldn't cause that. Why is the top portion of your post in a foreign language? I thought I was losing my sight for a minute?

@Nevena83 If your aunt is a doctor, that's okay. If not, I would contact my eye doctor. They say that you should do so with any change in the eye. Better safe than sorry. Glad you deleted it.

That`s scary my friend. Go see an eye doctor to help you out with your problem before it gets worst. It`s better to fix it earlier than to be sorry later

I would never ask a community of lay people for medical advice! You must see an eye specialist and have your eyes examined ASAP.

You're right. I didn’t want this to look like seeking advice, maybe I just wanted to share what was happening to me because I was terrified.

Stress can cause your blood pressure to rise, and a high blood pressure can put a strain on the eyes, causing the double vision (or other vision problems). I always know when my blood pressure starts to get really high, because my vision will start to get blurry. I would contact your doctor and have him check your blood pressure levels and see if that may be the issue.

You explained it really nicely. I was calm that day, but of course all the previous days I had a lot of stress. I have naturally low blood pressure.

A scary moment indeed. I have double visions, too, when my sugar is uncontrolled. Vision blurry. But please consult the ophthalmologist. Seeing well is very important.

Blurred vision can be caused by many things @Nevena83 . Getting up too quickly; a jump in blood pressure, eye strain, high blood sugar etc., @Nevena83 .

I think it is good advice to have your eyes checked - just to satisfy yourself that it's not something to worry about.

It could be an eye problem, but it could also be the first sign of another illness. Ask your doctor as soon possible.
