My mum lost part of her vision in her right eye for 20 minutes 3 weeks ago. The doctor sent her for blood tests and to and optometrist. The optometrist did a few tests and said she had a slight drainage issue in her right eye and was in a low to medium risk of glaucoma. He said her vision loss was probably a migraine even tho she doesn't get these and didn't have a headache?! She has now been reffered to a Ophthalmologist about her eye.
Her blood test came back and she has high cholesterol 7.5 I spoke to the receptionist who gave me this breakdown LDL 4.4 HDL 2.6. She has an appointment next week to talk about this but I am going mad with worry.
I googled and convinced myself she had a TIA which is a mini stroke most often a warning stroke meaning a worse stroke will happen soon.
If anyone has experienced partial temporary vision loss? What caused it? Can glaucoma cause it or a migraine even tho she doesn't get them?
Anyone know anything about cholesterol? I worked out her ratio which seemed good so now thinking I have got the breakdown wrong.
Anyone's help would help, struggling at the moment have spent the last month worrying I have cc or bc and been diagnosed with depression on second day of taking cipromil and just feeling crap. Prefer worrying about myself I think as feel worse worrying about my mum, and she don't know what I am going through as haven't told her.
