Sudden Blindness

[morgieporgie15]

I have never posted to this before. But I am very concerned and seeking some insight.  Lately, I have been eating super healthy and all organic. I have been staying away from sugar, and I have been losing weight. However, tonight I ate cereal for dinner (so unhealthy, I know). After, I ate it I felt really weird and I ended up falling asleep. 2 hours later I woke up, and I couldn't see a thing! I felt like I was blind. I have never experienced such a thing. It really started to scare me and I started to cry. Giving myself an anxiety attack. Luckily, my aunt was around and help relax me. She gave me some okra infused water, to help lower my blood pressure.(Because my aunt thinks I could possibly be a diabetic)Finally, when I stopped crying and drank the water; I could see better, but it was all blurry. As if I had glasses on. I drank another cup of the water, and my version was back. I know this sounds very absurd; but, I am very scared and clearly, this isn't normal!  Is this a sign of being diabetic or just a random occurrence?

The most common cause of "sudden blindness" is a clot blocking the blood supply to the optic nerve. There is a very short window of opportunity to act before blindness becomes permanent. Sometimes the clots resolve on their own.  If this happens again you need an immediate trip to the nearest ER. This has nothing whatsoever with diet, sugar or eating or not eating organic foods. The primary cause of these clots is dehydration.

I would have someone take me to the ER

If you go blind something is WRONG and you better find out before you go blind permanently
