I've been reading previous posts most the night on visual disturbances and have found a couple people that have similar symptoms, but not quite the same. First off, I've had occular migranes since I was probably 10 years old. I get the squiggly lines that move across my vision and last 15mins - 45mins. This is not the same! About 4 times now (within maybe a month), I've had a black curtain that takes the vision out of just one eye. I think it's always the right eye, but I'm not sure, I haven't paid attention to which eye until my last one. I don't get any pain or numbness anywhere when it happens and it lasts maybe a minute, at the most 2 mins. I've read posts of a couple people on here who had what sounded like the same thing but had a mechanical valve and thought it might have to do with their INR, but I have a tissue valve, and never have been on coumadin. I'm 2 months post op and 27 years old. I have never had this happen pre surgery.
I saw my regular doctor today for something unrelated and happened to mention this so he scheduled me an appt with an eye doctor for friday. Once I started reading posts on this and reading about TIA's, then of course I started to get a little nervous and my anxiety is a little high right now. Anyone on right now have similar vision problems and were they anything to worry about? Like I said, no numbness or pain anywhere, no dizziness either....any info would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you
