Hello, 2 Days Ago I Woke Up With A Busted
Question: Hello, 2 days ago i woke up with a busted blood vessel in my left eye. Red, blood in white part of eye around pupil. Today (5-7 hours ago) I started to notice, what felt like water in my left ear(felt like my ear was clogged with water), sensitive skin on the left side of my head, slight headache on left side of my head and slight left eye discomfort... my concern is that all the discomfort is in left side of my head, can yoy offer any insight into this? Thank you very much. Pete Barnard
Brief Answer:
Subconjuctival hemorrhage(SCH) is a possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
As per your description it seems like you had a subconjunctival hemorrhage(SCH). Other causes like conjunctivitis can also give rise to similar symptoms.
It will be better if you attach a picture in the followup query to make a diagnosis.
Is there any associated itching in the eye?
In most of the cases SCH is a self limiting condition and will settle by itself.
The eyepain and headache may be attributed to minor inflammation. For which you can take over the counter available analgesics like paracetamol for symptomatic relief.
Thanks
