Blurred Vision?

[smokeysmoo]

Anyone had it after exercising?

I've got it now after running 7 miles this morning but it's never happened before and it's really quite disorienting!

No headache though so that's a +ve

I've read a few things that suggest it's blood pressure related and it should correct itself once rested, but I've not way to check my BP right now.

I must have been back in above an hour before it started and although the blurriness steadily increased it does now seem to be improving quite quickly.

Any thoughts keyboard warriors?

Was going to post this other day , when I get back from a ride I cant read any text messages on my phone or read a newspaper till my eyes adjust , I was wondering if it was my sunglasses causing it !? , Never considered blood pressure .

something in your eye?

(OK I will add, something that should not be there in your eye)

Not that SNSSO, both eyes were equally blurry yet neither felt aggravated by anything, both came on together, developed at the same rate and subsided equally as well.

Another thought is maybe you need glasses on the bike and are straining to see while cycling and they need time to readjust when you get home .

Possibly, TBH I do wear glasses for distance, but they aren't strong and I tend not to bother when riding/running, but it's never happened before.

The common cause is hypotension. However I am not a clinician I just work in cardiology in an audit and clinical trials job so I would recommend taking to your gp. It is more common than you would think amongst runners.

Although I am not a Doctor my diagnosis is that you have Exercise-Induced Non-Diabetic Hypoglycemia.

That's also a very plausable explanation. Did you eat before going out as @Cold States this is another possible cause especially if you didn't eat and your blood sugar was low.

It could be a number of things. Blood pressure, not eating or drinking enough, and or temporary biabetes hypoglycemia as per the above poster. I would advise you to go and see your Dr.

I'd had some toast maybe about an hour before I went out which is probably about the norm if I'm going out at morning.

The bold bit is pretty unlikely for me WD

. Then maybe its the third option. Good luck.

I'm leaning towards the EINDH myself now, (thanks for that), but I'll keep my eye on things and if nothing else happens I'll just mention it next time I'm at the vets

Noooo. go and see the vet now. If it's blood pressure related it needs sorting. Self diagnosis is just excusing the issue. Putting off seeing the vet for something can lead to it getting worse, catching it early generally leads to a better outcome.
