bamagirl Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Does anyone else have vision changes since they developed POTS? My vision is very bad when I am symptomatic. I can't read because the words blur together and my eyes are very sensitive and tire easily. I have had a full eye workup and the eyes are normal, it's something systemic that is causing it. Just wondering if it's normal in POTS.bamagirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwolf Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 i have terrible visual trouble whenever my symptoms are worse. it can get so bad that even my glasses are useless watching tv. i can't read or sew and i just have to listen to what is going on around me. sometimes it is a little scary, but it does end after a few hours. i drink tons of liduids and just rest till it ends.best of luck, blackwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeykid Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I have bad vision too. At times it is worse then others but usually it is ok(with glasses). I saw an eye doctor a few months ago and he said that they were fine. I explained to him about POTS and he completely believed me and said that it probably has to do with decreased blood flow to the brain.

persephone Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 oh just today that happened to me- sparkles, blurring. horrible. it's most frightening when you can't see anything and you feel like you've woken up in a black hole or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belinda Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 i noticed when i first starting having symptoms my vision was like looking through water and major floaters I have the floaters all the time of course I am not being treated yet for my Pots except for Toprol which I have been on for almost 5 yrs. Any ways, the vision stuff is weird doesn't matter if I have my contacts in our not. I especially notice them in bright lights or in daylight.

sally Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hi, I have a great amount of vision problems when my bp is really low as well, mainly blurry vision. Can't seem to get focused for reading etc and glasses don't make a difference. It only gets better as the bp goes back towards my normal.

Mrs. Glass Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 My vision is horrible, but worse when my symptoms are worse. Some morinings I get up and can barely see enough to get to the bathroom. Although I do have Glaucoma, and the beginning of Macular Degeneration. I dont know if those two are causing it or this other stupid disorder. My eyes seem to be getting worse day by day. I do have an appointment with my eye doc next month though. I would ask him, but he doesnt know anything about autonomic disorders. VanessaDoes anyone else have vision changes since they developed POTS? My vision is very bad when I am symptomatic.

Guest Belinda Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I feel like I am constantly looking through water and I get floaters especially when it is bright out and I look down and then up they follow my line of vision and I never had a problem til just recently it has to do with the autonomic nervous system I was just toold theat today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
