What is cause double vision within my 72 year old friend. She have a history of TIA's -70% carotid blockage?
Answers:
Can foot pain lead to ankle pain?
Opthalmologist is manifestly the answer. It may take some trialling, but they will have the services and answers. Hopefully it will be something simple, like me -- I have a cataract that was cause the double vision -- which is atypical for a cataract, but DOES come about more than people come up with. Had the surgery and can see fine now! Good luck!
She have to see an eye doctor. I don't mean an optometrist...she wishes to see and ophthalmologist (they are medical doctors). She has track too much going on and needs special trialling they cannot do in an optometrist's department. They just don't manipulate things like this. Make an appointment for her and shift with her.
This could be due to a lot of things from a focal loss of function in her brain to something going on next to her eyes / eye muscles. She needs to see a dr. & attain a detailed exam.
With her history of TIA's and carotid blockage; I would suspect something going on in her brain. BUT I'm not a doctor.
Has she lost function in other parts of her body, like one side of her body, arm, leg, etc. lowliness or paralysis; one side off her facade drooping; difficulty understanding or conversation; has her gait changed; have her personality suddenly changed? If so, she requirements to go to the hospital immediately.
My back is bloodbath me, I cant hardly stride, or bend down?
Unilateral blockage in a carotid artery almost never cause the symptoms you describe.As others have said, see an opthamologist.
Also, she should enjoy the carotid problem followed by a vascular surgeon.
