genie Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hello all, I have always 'seen stars' when I was blacking out or passing out but have now started seeing them while sitting at my desk? I have a doc apt on Friday to discuss this but just wondered if any of you have this issues sitting as well? Any thoughts would be welcomed! Thanks!

Aprilmarie52 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I see stars when I stand up to fast or pop my back and of course before I pass out. Mainly things that effect me are my changes in blood pressure. I would suggest having your doctor check or get a bp monitor and see if it changes when you experiance these spells. I hope that all goes well with the doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calypso Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I see tiny flashes of light when I'm just walking or sitting around. I pay less attention to them than I do the chest pain and shortness of breath, but I definitely get them. I have no idea what causes them, but low BP and glucose levels would be my guess.

BP changes, yes; a sudden change in BP can cause visual disturbances. I used to see wavy lines or dark blobs when I stood up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I see electric blue dots and/or black spots when I stand too fast. When I was on zoloft and calcium channel blockers I used to get them alot worse. I also get them when I am just sitting down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
