My Dr. gave me the wrong blood presure meds. One type blocks a hormone, another type halts it creation. I need the meds that block the hormone, not halt it. Without it my eyes turn into a mess. It is a very rare side-effect.
I woke up Saturday morning and could not focus my eyes on a damn thing—I could not count my fingers, had I not known they were there, of course.
It was quite worrying. So, I called Docs message service. She called back with instructions: stop taking the meds. Come see me Monday. Had to weight a minute for an opthmalology appt. which was early today. Great news: all will be back to normal in a few more days.
And my blood pressure is fine.
Can I just add how unsettling it is when the world is one giant blur of color? Not being able to focus sucks.

That’s happened to me, my blood pressure dropped hard because of my heart meds and I had been dehydrated. My vision turned into crystal fractals for a few hours. Ironic because I work at a school for blind people.
