Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I experienced neuropathy and vision problems (fractals) and believed it was a stroke it happened for several days is a row. MRI showed white matter abnormalities. test for blood pressure, cholesterol and afib are all normal. I was not told this would be a side effect of my shingles vaccine but just found out. What can i do now?
Neuropathy and vision problem are not the side effects of shingle vaccine(Zostavax). Headache might occur after shingle vaccination. Which may remain for few weeks. And it is not a serious side effect. If you have neuropathy and vision problem still, consult the neurologist and ophthalmologist soon to get the proper diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel,
Dermatologist
