Cause Of Slurring Words, Trouble Focusing, And Eyes Burning?
I have noticed a slight slurring of my words over the last few months. I found it hard tonight when with friends for supper I was talking and it seemed I had to "dig" hard to get some parts of my conversation out. I am taking a lot of Benadryl for my running nose, probably caused by allergies, like two or three tablets every four hours. It seems to me that I do this slurring when taking the Benadryl. I also have trouble focusing and my eyes have been burning for a week now. Tear eye drips don't seem to help. I recently had a procedure to look down my throat to check on possible damage caused by acid reflux My Dr. has me on Nexium and started me on blood pressure pills. Could any of this be causing my problem?
Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum. As you describe it is due to the rise in B.P, which may be due to the antihistamine,benadryl. If taken, so frequently it can cause the hypertension and related reactions. I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a C.T.scan for diagnosis. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically along with other medicines. And also advise you to stop the benadryl completely for few days. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
