Hey guys, just a quick question regarding a 3 brief episodes of double vision that I had yesterday and if anyone else has noted this post surgery. I had aortic root aneursym repair with the David aortic valve repair that was done successfully May l4th. Discharged from hospital on 5th day. Had a few hours of a fib. that resolved prior to discharge. I saw on OrlandoTommys recent post that he had 6 episodes of double vision after a fairly recent procedure so I wondered if others had this problem.
Yesterday, 12 days after my surgery, as I was simply sitting on the couch, I spontaneously began to see double. No other symptom at all (palpitation, neuro disturbances, ect). At first, I thought it was the way my glasses were sitting but that wasnt the case. Lasted about 30 to 40 seconds, then resolved completely. Had another a few hours later and another in the middle of the night as I watched TV. I did have the hypothermic circulatory arrest where I understandstand my brain was cooled for 18 minutes. Is that the pumphead that Mike C has mentioned before?
Otherwise, just healing, resting, sleeping. Thanks for your help
