Eye Pain and Pressure
I have A.S. And Lupus and a slew of other things I am also being worked up for Inter cranial Hypertension. The past few days the weather has been crazy I live in AZ where it’s normally sunny and warm this time of year but we have been enduring cold and rain then sunny and warm then back to the rain so lots of pressure changes I also have chronic migraine and just had an MRI.
Yesterday I noticed some intense floaters around my right eye This eye also had some bright flashes here and there as well but that sometimes happens when I am going to get a migraine I slept it off last night and woke up with more eye pressure and pain as well as more floaters My eye is NOT red but it hurts. More pressure pain than anything .
I called my rheumatologist and she of course is out of town Is this an emergency? The floaters are impairing my vision on the one eye but I can see through them and then they move. It just does NOT feel right! Is this something I keep calling about? Maybe call someone else? What would or could an ER do? Do I try and find an ophthalmologist? I just don’t want to do something wrong out of ignorance. Should I be more or less concerned?
Thanks in advance!
