funny feeling never had before..maybe exhausted ?

Question

This is the second time i noticed this has happend withn the past week. I get about 3-4 hours sleep day.. because of my little ones and have been oing this for past year and a half. I am taking three classes at once on top of it. i dunno if maybe Im over exhausted but the first time i was washing dishes and i got really light headed and everything turned white then i kinda shook my head (as if to snap out of it) and my right eye kinda got really blurry very instantly.. and stayed blurry for about 2 minutes then it came back to normal vision. Today i had class ame home feel really tired and took a bubble bath and in the tub sitting down I had the very same light headed feeling and my right eye lost focus again. Its like the same feeling when i was preggers a year ago when i had low blood presssure and fainted but i didnt have the vision issue in the right eye. I hate going to a doc unless i have to and this may be a stupid reason to go in for...

i kinda think its just me being tired all the time but then again... is this a sign of something going on with the brain that could potentially be dangerous. i dont want to feel like a dork and go in and the docs look at ya like your stupid and pay 135 bucks just for them to tell me im exhausted and get more rest... which by the way is impossible with my little ones since 1 yr old has days and nights mixed up and 3 yr old wakes up at 9 am when my 1 yr old goes to sleep. going to school.... doing house work... im a busy camper.... any input from professional or knowledgable insight would be grateful... what could the light headed/ eye vision symptoms be of?

Answer 1

Well the fact that you are obviously taking on way to much and not sleeping enough probley has alot to do with it. The fact that you are having vision problems, and its only in one eye, suggests something neurologically. It could be low bp, but it also could be some kind of stroke symptoms. You shouldnt mess with this because you dont get another chance with your brain, trust me, Im a neuro nurse and see people who are young like u have huge strokes, brain cancer, anurysms, all kinds of problems, that dont have good outcomes because they waited to get things checked out. GO TO THE DOCTORS!

Answer 2

I don't think this is a stupid reason at all. Very valid. It may be nothing but it is not stupid. Just think of if you pass out and the little ones need you. Make an appointment tomorrow. Tell them it is urgent. Might be hormones, blood sugar, who knows but you don't want to be passing out.
