[sclit]

can any one please help me im 29y old and have for the past 6 months have been suffering from worrying vison disturbances. i have no head aches. it seems worse on a morning but happens all day. anything i look at leaves and image after i look away when i close my eyes it gets worse with lights moving in my eyes even though they are closed i have seen my doctor who seems unconcerned. this might be because i have another problem which he deems worse. i dont know if its related but 2 weeks before it started i was took too hospital with a fast and irregular heart beat which is still occuring at rest my heart beat will jump from 70 bpm to 140 bpm i am under diagnosis of svp or svt not sure which but am controled with nebivolol (beta blocker) but only as of 2 months ago please someone help its not in my mind      thanks

It sounds to me like it's your heart causing the issue.When a person has an irregular heart beat it can cause them to not get enough blood flow to certain areas of their body. Have you ever had a tilt table test or EKG? You might want to consider having those two tests done to rule out serious heart issues. I also agree with other posters that you need to see an ophthalmologist about your eyes. Good luck and I hope you feel better!

You don't need an optician.  You become an optician by sending in boxtops.You require an opthamological evaluation, which is from a physician (M.D.) who had undergone additional training involving the human eye.

I forgot to mention, you could visit an opthalmologist, he can check the pressure in your eyes, for glaucoma or any circulatory pressure in there, just to be on the safe side concerning your vision.

Interesting story.  Usually when your eyes do strange things, it has to do with not getting enough restful sleep.  Also, vision problems, I guess we can call it that, can have to do with not getting the right nutrients regularly, especially Vitamin A.  BUT since you have a heart problem, I think your vision trouble may also be linked to your blood pressure being too high.  Beta blockers usually help a person relax well and keep BP down.  But perhaps you are not on a strong enough dose, or you could switch to another KIND of beta blocker.  

Obviously your doc is not being responsive to your concerns, and hey, if I'VE got concerns and I'm just replying in a forum, that is, I don't like your heart rate being 140, much less JUMPING to 140, well, I think you should probably go ahead and see a cardiologist... altho I suspect you aready have, to be using terms like "svp" and so forth.  The thing about a heart rate going all over the place, no sooner do you show up at the doc's office, your heart doesn't act up.  Seems like they can do a 24- or 48-hour heart monitor thing on you.

I hope some of my general observations help you a little.  Post over in the cardiology heart section, too, see if anybody over there has similar vision problems, and maybe that will tell the tale.  But as for a neurological connection, I suppose they could do a CAT scan of your head and face, to see if anything is amiss, like a bleed or blocked vessel or nerve as relates to your eye anatomy.

Have you seen an eye doctor, an ophthalmologist?  I know nebivolol can affect eyesight.  The doctor that seems unconcerned should be concerned.   Have you eyeside checked.  The doctor that prescibed the drug should definitely address the problem asap.  That is too bad that you are having problems with your eyes because the drug is controlling your SVT.
