Should I Be Concerned? Vision Blackout + Pins And Needles Posted: 08-20-07 05:25am
Well in the last few months I have been
occasionally getting (once a week or less)
a strange problem. My vision slowly
becomes lost and everything starts to
blacken, although I can still talk and
walk etc, my hands get pins and needles
and my vision slowly returns with some
head pain.
Any ideas what the issue should be? The
blackout usually lasts no more than 10
seconds, yet when it occurs I have to take
a seat as I feel I could faint at any
minute.

Hi Segamen
Please go and see a doctor .... anything
that causes your vision to blacken out and
head pain .. must be medically
investigated and treated ... Try not to
stress over it .. but please see a doctor,
or go to a hospital if it happens
again...
Please take care
Best Wishes
Ginger

First off, I'm not a physician. My father
had the symptoms you describe. He was
diagnosed with mini strokes. I seem to
recall the doctor calling them transient
ischemic episodes. In my fathers case,
the doctor implanted a pacemaker and that
solved the problem.
If you haven't already please take
Ginger's advice and see a physician.
