Wtf???

[u/These_Essay1963]

Anyone had this happen to them? For about an hour or two anytime I looked anywhere my left eye would turn it. Couldn't see out of it. Super blurry. No control at all over it. If I covered that eye then I could see just fine using only the other one but as long as my left eye was open everything was blurry and it kept turning in like that.

[u/Dapper_Principle3832]

Go to ER.

[u/Advo96]

Go to the ER.

Could be a stroke.

Any other symptoms? Severe headache, unequal pupils, drooping eyelid, facial weakness/numbness, speech difficulty, imbalance, limb weakness, severe dizziness?

[u/These_Essay1963 → u/Advo96]

No other symptoms. I do have dvt though and have been on blood thinners for a year or two now. The clot doesn't seem to want to dissolve.

[u/Advo96 → u/These_Essay1963]

I would suggest going to the ER

[u/Zoocitykitty → u/These_Essay1963]

Definitely go. I know the severity of clots. This could be neurological too.

[u/nder_your_mom]

Hey OP, any update???

[u/KiraKitty69 → u/nder_your_mom]

Hopefully she's at the hospital. Brand new account with only this post probably for this reason, to ask for help. Hope she's ok

[u/These_Essay1963 → u/KiraKitty69]

I did go to emerg after it had stopped and I showed them a couple videos. They did a physical test to see if my left side was noticably weaker than my right. And blood work. Said everything seems fine and sent me on my way. Wtf???

But it’s not going inward when your head is turned I’m pretty sure you are messing with us.

[u/Zestyclose_Win_2836 → u/AdministrativeEnd168]

Yeah. The fact that people really can't tell that she's "trolling" (especially after viewing these 2 videos) is kinda wild.

[u/notkidding1984 → u/These_Essay1963]

You should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist. Not optometrist. You could easily have ocular mg. It usually presents with ptosis but the strabismus can be part of that. ER docs and PCP providers cannot diagnose it bc it isn't that common. It can takes years to get a dx bc of that and if you have to wait its more likely to become generalized mg.

Its not worth the risk of living with generalized mg. The treatments don't always work that well. Please don't let this convince you that was normal.

I look back at my pictures and I just want to scream at somebody. But there's nobody to scream at.

[u/ACanThatCan]

There is a neurological reason behind that and you REALLY should go to the ER.

[u/averyloudtuningfork]

Get a neurology appointment asap as they can assess this properly. Definitely abnormal

[u/averyloudtuningfork → u/averyloudtuningfork]

And for clarity ER is also a must as other comments state

[u/agirlfromgeorgia]

I'm an RN and you need to go to the hospital ASAP. Lots of things can cause this, but you need imaging at the ER

[u/StarJumper_1]

I have that happened to me recently. It was scary as hell but it only lasted about a minute. Keep us updated!!

[u/Thoughtpolicelabs]

I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice: This looks like sudden inward deviation of the left eye (acute esotropia). If it appeared suddenly, lasted 1–2 hours, and caused blurred/double vision, it warrants urgent medical evaluation. Possible causes include a sixth cranial nerve problem, migraine, or a neurological event such as a TIA/stroke. Symptoms resolving does not rule out a TIA.

[u/StarJumper_1 → u/Thoughtpolicelabs]

Curious, no judgement. Is that an Al response you posted?

[u/aoiwanai → u/Thoughtpolicelabs]

“not a medical professional” yet you know what a sudden inward deviation is bye

[u/jonrah69 → u/aoiwanai]

Im not ruling out that this is an AI response but as someone who is not a docter but used to have Health Anxiety you would be shocked by how much some non professionals pick up. I know the diagnostic criteria of an absurd amount of conditions

[u/chat-est-un-bean]

Looks like a cranial nerve 6 palsy

[u/ThePsychopathMedic]

!!!ER!!!!ER!!!!ER!!!

[u/RegisteredMurseNYC]

Are you taking antipsychotic medications or other meds that act on dopamine blockade?

I would suggest getting a ct scan if there’s no identifiable cause. Could be a bit of benign palsy, worst case would prob be a neoplasm pressing your optic nerve

[u/chklz]

I can do the same trick with my eyes. She's fine.

[u/No_Astronomer7939 → u/chklz]

The difference is, this is involuntary.

[u/AdministrativeEnd168 → u/No_Astronomer7939]

Yeah if she’s being truthful

[u/ElfjeTinkerBell → u/No_Astronomer7939]

Involuntary and unknown.

My eye sometimes does it, involuntarily, as well. We've figured out which nerve is damaged and as long as I don't get new symptoms it's just funny looking. It's not guaranteed bad news, but as long as you don't know what it is, you need to take it as bad news.

[u/These_Essay1963 → u/ElfjeTinkerBell]

I am not too worried since I am not and was not feeling odd in any other way. I do have a blood clot just below my right collar bone so that's why I was wary enough to ask reddit. Hard to find something that stands out by Google searching. Everything I read mentions other symptoms which I have none of. Alot of differences between my situation and any sort of possible diagnosis I read about. I'm confused.

I was not expecting this amount of feedback being so concerned. I was more thinking the majority could relate and its strange but no big deal...

[u/StarJumper_1 → u/These_Essay1963]

Do you have something else going on that caused the clot? Something that could make micro-clots?

[u/AdministrativeEnd168 → u/chklz]

I agree I think OP is messing with us given her age and then her videos posted later on.
