Trouble Focusing In Left Eye For Short Period. History Of Passing Out During Test With Urologist, Dropped BP. Thoughts?

I just finished having a test with a urologist and passed out. I was giving smelling sauce and when I woke I had trouble focusing my left eye.. They took my blood pressure and it had dropped. I could see half of the persons face and other side had a glare light on it. It took about 15 minutes till my sight was normal again.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post are due to Postural hypotension.
It occurs due to sudden fluctuation in blood pressure during change in posture as a result of peripheral accumulation of blood in lower limbs.
As you have mentioned about an incidence of fall in blood pressure, the symptoms can be relieved by controlling the blood pressure status.

So, kindly consult your treating Physician & discuss regarding this.
Investigations like estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels, Electrocardiography will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
