Blurry Vision

[SusinMichigan 76]

Okay, had the darndest thing happen today and wondering if I'm alone.

I take a small cooler with me on errands now and it had a bottle of Water, bottle of Crystal Light, Colby jack cheese and string cheese. Just a snack because I'm still eating every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. We went about an hour away to the nursery and spent probably another hour in the nursery. I had G2 and 4 pieces of bacon then 8 oz. of Crystal Light this morning before we left the house.

After we left the nursery, (it had been 2 1/2 hours since I had anything) I grabbed a piece of Colby jack from the cooler because I was feeling a little funny. On the way home, I realized I couldn't read the signs at the side of the road, not only curve ahead signs, but also street signs, etc. More like I could see the first letter (sometimes) and the last two letters and everything in the middle was totally blurred. About 1/2 hour or so into our trip home, it started to get some better and it was better by the time we got home. Has anyone had this happen?

I'm going for my 6 week check up on Friday but there hasn't been any blood work ordered. I'm going to call my primary care physician for a blood work order tomorrow but don't even know how to explain what's happening. Any ideas? Thank you.

Do you take blood pressure meds, if so it could be that your blood pressure has dropped too low.

Yes, I am on blood pressure meds.

This may have nothing to do with your situation but this happened to me when my blood sugar levels where out of control before my diabetes was diagnosed. It's pretty scary but I'll bet the answer will be in your blood tests. Ask them to check your blood glucose levels just in case.

Check your blood pressure if it low then you should not take any more BP meds until you see your doctor on Friday. This happened to me! You may need your dose adjusted or taken off the meds.

That sounds like low blood sugar. if my blood sugar levels get below 65 my vision starts to get fuzzy.

any change in your blood sugar can cause fuzzy vision. i am always so very much more careful with my blood sugar (i'm a type 1 diabetic) the week before getting my eyes examined, trying to get the truest reading.
