Lack of Coherent Speech Preceeded By Blurry Vision?? Posted: 11-10-06 19:33pm
Tried searching the 'net for the subject
symptoms, but as you can imagine, way too
many unrelated results.
I have a male friend, early 30's, who had
a weird "episode" three days ago. No
existing medical conditions (unless you
consider allergies to dogs/cats) or drugs
being taken. No smoking, overeating,
etc., regular exercise. Peak health.
Anyways, he was working on his house,
kneeling down, when his peripheral vision
went blurry. I don't know why he did
this, but he shrugged it off and worked
through it. Afterwards, he was sitting
with his wife, and went to say something,
but his speech was incoherent. He was
totally conscious of what he was *trying*
to say, and his wife knew what he was
going to say, but his wife could not
understand his speech. It was coming out
essentially garbled.
Unfortunately I wasn't there to witness
this, and haven't been able to ask further
questions, so that's all I know right now,
except 911 was called, the responding
medics said all his vitals were fine, and
referred him to the emergency room.
Apparently he had a ct scan (of at least
his head I was told) immediately, but
nothing abnormal was found.
At this point apparently the Dr. Said
there was nothing wrong and released him.
No resolution, no real suggestion as to
what to do next.
First time this has ever happened to him,
and i'm a bit curious as to why something
like this would ever just "crop up". The
eye thing alone might not be very
alarming, (muscle spasm, tension, etc)
but followed up with the speech problem it
would seem to me potentially quite
serious.
Any advice, suggestions, or similar
experiences out there?
