What Causes Blurred Vision Along With Swelling In The Arm?
I have blurred vision in my right eye. Changed contacts happens with or without contacts. This is day two. Let hand swelled up last night had to remove wedding band. Woke up this morning lefft hand was asleep. Not sure if the two go together. Saw my eye Dr. in Nov.
Understanding your concern . As per your query you have blurred vision along with swelling in the arm . The symptoms you mention are typical symptoms of a diabetic person. It seems to me that you are having diabetes type 1 , because diabetes type 2 shows less symptoms or shoe symptoms slowly .The symptoms can also occur due to allergic reaction , side effects of certain medicine or there can be two different causes for both symptoms . I would suggest you to consult physician for proper diagnosis and rule out causes like nerve impairment and acidic reflux diseases . Doctor may order fasting and random blood sugar level , glycolate hemoglobin test or test for ketone bodies in blood . Doctor may refer you to ophthalmologist for eye problem or orthopedic surgeon for swelling in arm. For now take proper rest and take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl .
Doctor may prescribe insulin therapy ( number of unites will depend upon the severity of disease ) .
Till then eat healthy , do light exercise for half an hour daily and avoid alcohol and smoking.
I hope it helps. Thanks Dr Harry Maheshwari
