Often upon awakening I will have unusual images in my field of vision. Sometimes I see a black blob in the center of my field of vision, other times everything is distorted and looks werid including having different colors and shapes, and text on written items. People will also look different to me. This can go on for up to thirty seconds or more.
I have no other symptoms at the time this is going on, don't feel dizzy, weak, disoreinted etc. I do have a history of sleep paralysis, possible apnea, and benign heart palpitations. I am currently on Paxil CR 12.5mg daily, and Toprol XL 25mg 2X daily.
1. Could the medication be effecting my vision?
2. Does seeing a black blob in the center of my vision indicate anything serious like presyncope or hypotension?
3. What can explain the other distortions in my vision?
4. Could sleep paralysis and/or apena beplaying a factor in this?
I should also point out that during these events I am fully aware and able to move, talk etc.
