What Causes Double Vision And Hot Flashes On The Face After The Heart Surgery?
My husband had open heart surgery on the 04th of October. He reported today that he had experienced double vision yesterday(only for seconds) and today indicated that he had what appeared to be a hot flash in the face only that again only lasted seconds. Both of these occurences happened approximately 1-1/2 hrs. after taking his morning medications. Any cause for concern?

Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms could be related to low blood flow to the brain.
For this reason, I recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries to examine the blood flow in them and a brain CT scan or MRI study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
