Question : I was sitting on my patio and started getting dizzy. I noticed my eyes were no right. It seems the view was like rotating. I went inside and suddenly broke out in a sweat and started to get sick to my stomach. I vomited a couple of time. I never vomit. Went and lay down on my bed and didn't feel like getting up for a day and a half. Intake was water only and then just crackers. Late Thursday I drank a milk shake and it didn't settle with me. Eyes started getting funny again and laid down again. When I got up my right eye was fine but there is like a cloud on the bottom half of my left eye.

Brief Answer:
It sounds like a stroke

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query. I think I would be able to help you.

The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible stroke. the sudden onset of neurological symptoms with no prior history and persistent symptoms is hall mark of a stroke.

I think I would suggest that you meet the neurological specialist as soon as possible. I suggest getting a MRI BRAIN ad well.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us at the top. Best regards. Dr. Mittal
