What Cause Sudden Blurred Vision And Loss Of Colour With Muscle Cramps?

I am having some what I can only explain as bizarre symptoms which started 2 years ago with painless loss of vision in the left eye. Since then I have had all manner of symptoms, including blurring vision and loss of colour vision. I have had cold patches and numbness in different areas and at times I have lost the feeling of my left leg, or arm of face, but never at the same time. At present I have been experiencing jerks and very bad muscles cramps too. Two nights ago I was relaxing when my whole body started to jerk and I was awake. This has happened to me before. I presently have a tightening around the ribs front and back which began 4 weeks ago and at first signs felt like my ribs were cramoing up. The pain has eased and it is now more of an annoying discomfort, and sometimes painful if I move about.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of sudden onset of blurring of vision associated with numbness, muscle cramps....
These symptoms indicate fainting or vasovagal syncope or transient ischemic attack.
This requires evaluation to find out the underlying causes like vascular causes, cardiac causes...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
