vision problems

[jubemmeva]

i was wondering if anyone had vision problems when they first got diagnosed with a heart condition such as afib or wpw? like blurry vision or light sensitivity. and how long it took to go away after your ablation?

Hi. Are you on amioderone ? Generally given before and after ablations can do this.

It's common to have migraine like episodes for a few weeks after an ablation. I certainly had them and know a lot of others who did. It's listed as one of the after effects in the HU information document on what to expect after an ablation.

Will see if I can find the link to the document for you.

Here it is. Note that the document on my PC arrives in the bottom left hand corner of the window:

I was diagnosed with V-Tach/V-Fib and Glaucoma within the same week. Cardiologist told me I was at risk of sudden death when exercising and needed an ICD pacemaker/defibrillator combo. Eye doctor said Glaucoma was caused by nerve damage due to minni eye strokes which I have never felt. Coincidence? Both conditions have been well controlled for five years with only three episodes of trigger or bear triggering of my defibrillator. Eye pressures are well within normal range with daily dose of Latanoprost.

hi everyone, i am not on any medication. this all started 2 weeks after i started showing signs of wpw. which is an extra circuit in the heart that has similar symptoms to afib such as extreme palpitations and shortness of breath, lightheadedness and dizziness. i got a successful ablation in April to correct it and while its lessening, i still have vision problems that sometimes last for a couple of hours every day. i’ve been to the optician a month after it started and they said everything looked fine. i’m wondering if i should possibly make another appointment. or could this be a symptom of extreme anxiety which is also what i've been experiencing.

Yes just recently having blurred vision 5 years post ablation for AVNRT.

No current meds but I have flecainide but not had to use it yet as only had one event of confirmed afib on my kardia device
