What Causes Temporary Loss Of Vision While Sneezing?

I sneezed four or five times continuously. The last sneeze seemed to not come out smoothly, causing me to temporarily lose vision in my left eye.I then tried to get off the bed and realized I had lost my sense of balance. Went to emergency room and when I woke up ,had my vision back,but realized my right side of my body was numb,as if they were pins and needles. I had to walk with a very bad limp for a couple weeks,and 4months later,it has gotten better ,but strength is still weak on rt side and still have pins and needles feeling in my hand and arm.I would say its about 75℅now! Please help!!

Hi,

As per your history please follow my advise:

1) Check your vital sign (BP, RR rate, Pulse, Temp) and record it

2) Check your FBS and Lipid profile

3) Do a physical exam of carotid artery

4) Do [carotid artery Doppler ultrasound]

5) Do magnetic resonance imaging [MRA]

6) ECG/ECHODx-TIAMedications

a) Add PLAVIX capsules once a day
b) [Angioplasty] after test reports
c) Stop smoking, cut your lipid level, take a multivitamin (A-Z), restrict salt,

Do exercise regularly, Restrict alcohol, Do not use any illicit drugs.
