circulation

[ummbasso]

Hi, I have  a problem with my circulation when I exercise I get areas of reduced vision, a bit like when you have looked at a bright light,these areas are always in the same place, in both eyes. I have seen an opthalmologist who says there is nothing wrong with my eyes, but said perhaps it could be due to circulation, I also have had a couple of treadmill tests for blood pressure and ecg in the last few years, and also a carotid artery scan, they are all normal, my blood pressure is also fine, I do have osteoarthritis of the neck, could this be affecting my eyesight in someway by restricting the blood flow, I would be extremely grateful for your advice as this is really worrying, I have had this four about five years

hi
i am completely guessing at this but u know how some people get migraine from trapped nerves in the neck and a lot of people with migraine get pressure in the eye it could be the same kinda thing for u in the sence if there is damage to the neck the nerves maybe affected and when stressed as in exercise produces symptoms like u describe am i wrong probably but just a thought.but it could be nerve related
hope u get a better answer and take care
