Problems Reading
Posted: 12-26-03 15:29pm

I am 35 and over the past six weeks have had 4 'episodes' of not being able to read. This lasts approximately 5 minutes. I can stare at the words on paper and they are meaningless to me, I cannot figure out how to spell the word, what it says or what it means. Do I seek medical help or ignore it, and hope it does not occur again?

I don't think yu should ignore this see a dr, have your eyes sight checked (just to cover all bases) could high blood pressure/stress be the cause. Sometimes our body reacts to stress after the fact not just at the time. I get "visual" migraines no pain but can't see because of the shiny rivers or patterns of light across my vision, I rest they stop I don't then I get the full blown pain migraine.

See the Dr.
