What Causes Dizziness And Blurred Vision After Having Medicines For Hemorrhoid?

Posted on Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Question: I have an external hemorrhoid. On Monday I saw my doctor and he prescribed suppositories. The dosage is one a day. I started on Monday. My doctor explained we would try the suppositories first, then he would perform a "scope" on me if they did not improve (I had my first colonoscopy October 2013, negative results). Yesterday I experienced dizziness and distorted vision (the distorted vision for a very brief time). Could this be the result of the suppositories? My doctors office is closed today. I don't mind calling his office but thought I would check first.XXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Hydrocartisone cannot be the cause. Needs evaluati

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the information.

No this drug hydrocartisone has no such side effect. This will be helpful in reducing the inflammation. The cause may be due to any other problem.

The dizziness and distorted vision may be due to variation in BP, blood sugar, stress, abnormal lipid profile,anemia or even cardiovascular problem. So you need to get evaluated for the same during your next visit to doctor.

I hope this answered your query and is useful. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you faster recovery and good health.

Regards
