Hi I wondered if anyone has had other issues that may relate to their glaucoma? My blood pressure is low and drops significantly through the night whilst sleeping and this can be an issue regarding eye pressure as the flow of blood is restricted.

Glaucoma can be linked with other diagnosis e.g severe rhinitis, migraines, nocturnal hypertension! Any advice as i am trying so hard to understand why my sight in my left eye continues to deteriorate

Thank you

Hi Bazzer65!

Your post could have been written by me when I was diagnosed in 2018. You’ll find not much advice on your questions in the Uk, but you might be interested to google Flammers Syndrome which is discussed more widely in Europe and USA.

Obviously my next comment is that whatever you read and whatever you deduce from that info, please do still follow your treatment plan from your hospital consultant exactly. Very important! 👍🏻
