What Causes Double Vision While Suffering From COPD And Hypertension?
Husband 77 years old, hx of COPD, hypertension, hypothyroid. Wasn t feeling well after dinner, appetite poor. Took his b/p electronically, finding it 77/46; then took it manually with similar readings. Pulse steady at 66. He just called me, and said he was seeing double. Please be informed that he had a whiskey and water before supper. Just concerned re low blood pressure.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It's obviously low blood pressure causing the same and added by the effect of beer. Re-hydrate him as soon as possible. Taking ORS would be of great help. Need constant monitoring though.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
