What Causes Blurred Vision, Dizziness And Floating Spots?

HI, Thank you for taking my question. Approximately 3-4 years ago I experienced some unusual symptoms and I was wondering if you would be able to tell me your thoughts. My symptoms were as follows: dizzy, light headed, saw white spots, unable to focus, this lasted for approx. 30-45 minutes and occurred in the afternoon. After this occurred I thought I may have been bitten by a spider as I had been gardening outside. I had no signs of marks on my body. What are your thoughts??

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision and floating spots do indicate possible
low blood pressure or low blood sugar. The low blood pressure may be sequence of
- Excess perspiration in heat when working
- Low hydration status
- Sequence of spider bite or else.

The low blood sugar would be
- Empty stomach over a span of time
- Alterations in diabetic patient

However, an immediate medical consultation can reveal the much details from the vital parameters with random blood sugar assessment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
