Barb's Journal

I had my mitral valve replaced five years ago (bioprosthetic valve). I do not take a blood thinner. I do not take any heart meds. Since my surgery I have had ocular migraines - 2 to 4 a month - short duration. I never had one before my surgery. Now I have occasional double vision - every 6-8 weeks lasting only a few minutes. My optometrist sees nothing of concern. I saw an ophthalmologist - he had no concerns. I am scheduled for a carotid duplex to see if there are vascular issues. If not, I'll be headed to a neurologist. Has anyone had visual disturbances after heart surgery? It is scary.
