Tanzanite Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Just wondered if anyone else has had this. This morning, I woke up and went to the bathroom, peeked in the mirror and saw my left eye was kind of bloodshot, as if all the blood has rushed to it. I had been laying on my left side asleep for the last hour. Is it possible to have blood pooling in your eye?! This illness never ceases to amaze me sometimes what it can do.

Tami Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Sometimes you can get broken blood vessels in your eyes that can make them blood shot. wich can be caused by blood high or flexuating blood pressure, straining, and stress. I don't know if it can cause blood to pool there. I don't really know much about it but I would watch it and if it gets worst see the doctor.

deucykub Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hi, Tanzanite:I agree with Tami. If it doesn't go away, you might want to have a doctor check that out. It's so easy to attribute every symptom to a chronic illness, but sometimes that may not be the cause. I blamed my fatigue on fibromyalgia in 2004 until a doctor noticed I was short of breath (this didn't even occur to me). I ended up with a diagnosis of asthma, breathing at 25-30% of capacity. Then, I blamed the shortness of breath in 2006 on asthma even though my peak flows were okay. That turned out to be POTS. Yikes! Take care!Deucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzanite Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 It's only been happening first thing then goes away. Always the eye the side I've been laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
