Hey all,
Haven't been here in some time. My surgery was about 11 months ago and I feel better than I've ever felt in my entire life.
However, I do have a troubling side effect and I wanted to see if anyone else has ever experienced anything like it: At random intervals, a few times a week, and sometimes following exercise, I get a dizzy spell and my eyes go in different directions. This lasts for a couple minutes and then everything clears up and my eyes go back to normal.
I've been to an eye doc and got a clean check out there...
I talked to my cardiologist, and apparently, there is another guy who had my same surgery from the same doc who has an almost identical issue. He's currently reviewing my case with an opto-neurologist. Apparently it may be some kind of ocular migraine? Not sure as I have always had regular migraines my whole life. I guess being on reverse bypass for 7 hours and being chilled down was destined to leave me with some kind of crazy side effect. I'm just concerned as it sometimes seems like it's getting worse. If that's all I get in the way of "pump head", then I guess I'll take it.
Peace,
Brian
