Are Occasional Blurry Vision And Lightheadedness, History Of Clot Anything Serious?

hello, I am wondering if I need to see my MD or not. I am concerned about risk of stroke. My mother had TIA s in her 70 s. I have had a blood clot in my leg below the knee about 2 years ago and took eliquis for 1 year. I am not overweight and my bp is normal. I am male and 69 yr. old not diabetic. I exercise 4 x /week for about 30 min. each time. I do like sweets.I am not a smoker. Recently I have experienced the following: about 1x every 2 months or so I have some vision problems lastling for about 20 minutes or so----where I my vision is a little blurred around the perimeter not in the center and secondly where on occasion I experience some light headedness for a day or so. thank you so much for your help.

Hi
well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here the given symptom of vision difficulty (Blurred) is not indicative of any stroke or TIA If does not have exact symptoms, but to clear the doubt better to get done the CT brain along this it is advisable to get done the ophthalmic examination too, with routine blood test including blood glucose test hope this information helps.
