embolism

[Guest guest]

Anyone ever have a problem with their eyes? I had sinus infection

and my eyes were hurting. I thought it was the infection but I took

myself to the hospital because i felt somthing was wrong. First

hospital said blood clot in right eye even though they could not see

one (as soon as they heard I was an afib patient)they sent me off to

Boston's Mass eye and Ear who agrees with the first hospital even

though they don't see one. So next step is a Fluoresceine Angio gram

(a shot and die goes to the eye and they can see the path it takes

and if any leaking or obstruction), they want me to have an

embolisiam work up, new echo cardiogram, and Corotid artery study.

The Doctor I went to for the Fluoresceine angio gram said there is a

possible retinal emboli in the Macula artery. I think what this

means she thinks she sees somthing but not sure what. Just wondering

if anyone had any similar situation. My last afib was 1 1/2 months

ago and it was 45 minutes and I self converted. Im on an adult

aspirin, I don't have heart desease, normal chlesterol, very minor

Mitral valve prolapse but a little chunk of somthing came from

somwhere. My vision on my right eye is like looking outside on a

foggy day but only on the top part of the eye. I did not realize if

you have an eye problem to go immediately to the hospital because you

could actually lose the site. Ok....if anyone has any thoughts to my

delima....I welcome them all...(I did not go into afib even after all

the torure from the two hospitals...lol)oh they said maybe it's time

for coumadin
