I had an ocular migraine late one night when I was driving home on the freeway. It was the scariest 10 minutes of my life! All I could do was stay in the same lane until the traffic cleared out and I could park on the side of the road and call my daughter. I'd never heard of them before until I saw my eye doctor the next day.Never figured out why it occurred.

I'm diabetic and make sure I have a yearly eye exam and all diabetic eye screening at that yearly visit too. Our eyes can show so much about our health. Happy that you were able to get it checked out and have professional advice that will keep your eye health in positive direction. I have had both cataracts removed on both eyes. I wear reading glasses for close up vision. They are over the counter with blue light lenses. I purchase them online at a reasonable price.

@christines2787 27 дней назад

I am currently baking cookies so not paying attention to who else was in the room as I listened to your video. I took a break to tell you that my 22 year old, who recently had to have a caffeine intervention happened to be nearby and heard this. She was properly horrified and is taking this as a cautionary tale. So, thank you so much for sharing this. Pretty sure you made a concrete difference in how she views caffeine. She knows eye troubles are not something to fool around with. At 22 she's not that worried about her BP, but is aware that one side of her family generally winds up on meds for it there 30s. She's also aware that I have major eye issues and that it's a real inconvenience at times.

@marilynpeppers1356 27 дней назад

Wow. We all so unique! Another situation to add to our list of things that can happen. I would have suspected high blood sugar. As a younger person, I never would have thought I would ever go to caffeine free coffee!!! But because of some health issues in my 40’s, I started weaning myself off caffeinated coffee by mixing in decaf to my regular coffee. I did that to avoid the headaches. Took about a month or so, but I became a decaf coffee girl. My issues cleared up. My BP has risen the last couple of years due to aging. I fought it with diet for months, but finally had to start taking an Rx med. I can’t watch college football though. Makes my BP spike every time.😂😂 I can see how this would emphasize to you to stay the course on your health journey. We don’t want to be sick these days when we have such challenges all around us.

I'm sorry you had such a scare. I understand it totally. I learned not long ago the issue with coffee, esp decaff which I drank. I was waking up with a racing heart and I couldn't understand why. I was drinking 2 cups in the morning and rarely got through the second. I ended up in the ER recently with Bacterial Bronchitis and the doctor told me that even though coffee is decaff it still has a percentage of caffeine, which evidently was bothering me. I had to stop the coffee, and the racing heart has stopped. I switched to organic Earl Grey tea breakfast blend. So we do have to take note of everything we digest. I'm on a FODMAP DIET and I have to monitor everything. I totally get where you are in the diet journey. Glad you are doing better😊

Wow! I had no idea caffeine could affect your eyes. I guess it's really elevating your blood pressure that does it. I'm so glad you didn't wait to go to the doctor. As we age, we are more fragile. It's hard to admit, but we must monitor so many things we do as well as eat and drink. I know you're good about going to the doctor and adhering to his/her advice. However, not everyone is good about taking care of their health, which includes checkups. Praise the Lord you were able to discover the problem. We need you around for a long time!

@randomhodgepodge8902 27 дней назад

Scarey! So happy with your doctor and that you noticed the caffeine difference. In addition to too much caffeine most people are getting too much sugar at the same time. Because there aren't many that drink black coffee (or tea) only without adding some amount of cream/milk, sugar/sweetener. Energy drinks are flavored sugar water, same as carbonated drinks and juices. All of it over a days time adds up and makes a (negative) difference on our health.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Suggestion: Try drinking decaffeinated coffee. I just had an eye issue and I called my doctor's office and even though I'm on an Advantage Plan, they told me I did not have to get a referral to the eye doctor. So I called the eye doctor and much to my amazement they saw me very quickly. He gave me a full exam and testing. It turned out that I now have an opacity in the vitreous fluid in my right eye. At the end of the visit he told me that the black spot in my vision may or may not go away. It is nothing to worry about, but he'll keep an eye (sorry for the pun) on it when I get exams. He told me that he was glad I came in right away because there was a chance that my retina may have been detaching, but my retina is OK. He told me that if the same thing happens in the other eye or if I see sparkly lights in either of my eyes, he wants me to call his office right away because they will want to make sure I am not having a retina detachment. He says they will get me in immediately. I don't think the black spot is going to go away, it's a nuisance but I can live with it. All of us need to get our eyes checked periodically. Don't put it off if you haven't been for awhile.

Oooh, I guessed ocular migraine from the beginning lol. I have been getting these types of migraines since I started puberty at 10-11. I remember how scary they were until I figured out what was going - as a kid I thought I was going blind. Mine are related to stress, hormones, weather changes, and who knows what, probably caffeine too ... luckily I only get a few a year, but they usually come in clusters. Also, DAAAWN ... the next time you think you maybe had a stroke, go to the ER!

@jennyeagan1840 27 дней назад

Thankfully, am not much of a caffiene drinker. My morning beverages tend to be decaf tea, herbal tea or hot chocolate. Decaf tea can have light amounts of caffiene. Same for hot chocolate. For years, my eye exams, nearsightedness would vary. Seemed like their was a difference between morning and afternoon differences at the levels. My last eye doctor gave me two exams with an afternoon blood test inbetween, comparing with a recent yearly blood test, which was in the morning. Compared my just over the borderline, other years my test results in the diabetes levels. For years, my blood sugar levels fluctuating from prediabetes to diabetes. My eye doctors point was proven, our bodies all have fluctuating sugar levels, and can affect vision. This was my expereience, but now am getting older, will be adding caffiene more to my 'watch list'. Need to include being a chooholic. Doctors do appreciate if we can provide symptoms with some kind of our own minimal investigative work. Such as what times of the day/night we are noticing symptoms and activity. It helps them pinpoint a better diagnosis. Often, it is connected to gut health and diet related.

I have had those before a couple of times and it was from a supplement! I used to take a lot of them and there was one particular one that caused them but I didn't lose my vision I just had zig-zag lines going through my vision. It was quite scary and I'm a nurse and I didn't know anything about them. Lol but definitely it's better not to panic until you get a diagnosis from a physician.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I am glad you are fine, but on the other hand, if coffee can almost blind you, the wake up call should be to eat better food overall. I know you always want to save, but grocery should not be one of the first places to cut your budget, especially if you are working on your health. Sorry, but I know, I’m fat, but I’m trying to make myself healthy by eating better and exercising. At some point we have to wake up and take responsibility for our bodies.

This poor lady is extremely morbidly obese. She does shows all the time on losing weight and saving money but the reality is she's an overeater and an over spender and her life is quite bad because she has packed on the way she uses food for comfort food for love food for fear food for happiness. I quit watching on a regular basis because it's depressing to see someone go through the same things over and over and over for years on and truly never do anything about it. People who are morbidly obese like this woman should never be drinking energy drinks. The energy is you quit drinking sugar you get off your butt and you actually do life instead of sitting on your butt eating and living through your couch. She's a nice lady. But she's trapped in her morbidly obese syndrome. She is only in her fifties and my God I looked at her and I thought lady you so deserve a better life but you're never going to give it to yourself. We can give all the advice in the world. She's never going to take it she doesn't take it from herself or others I feel sorry for her. If she could get $150 off her she'd have an amazing life instead she's going to have a couch life. Her choices.

Very interesting. I am a heavy coffee drinker and caffeine doesn't bother me, but if I don't drink it I get headaches. Normally I never get a headache. I did read that women who drink 5 cups of coffee a day are much less likely to get Alzheimer's which is important to me because my mother had it. Also my blood pressure is fine. What I find funny is that since I was 12 I have worn glasses for being near sighted. At 22 I got contacts and wore them for years. Those contacts kept my eyes from getting worse and I had the same prescription for over 10 years. My vision actually improved with age and I went from two distance contacts to one eye for distance and one eye for reading. Then I went to a contact in only one eye. The eye doctor suggested that I go back to glasses. Now I only have to wear them for driving. I have to laugh when at 79 I can still read the fine print on medicine packages with no problem, but my kids aged 45-52 all have to use readers. If they don't have their glasses handy I have to read it for them. I will say that listening to friends can be important. My neighbor is 91. About 3 months ago she wasn't feeling right so she called her friend. The friend listened to her talking and immediately knew that she was having a stroke. The friend called 911 and told them that her friend was having a stroke. When they sent the ambulance they sent the special stroke unit. Because of that she was immediately treated for a stroke on the scene. She went to the hospital, stayed one night for observation, and was sent home. That quick thinking friend saved her from probably a whole lot worse outcome.

Eye problems are so scary! I'm glad you're better! ❤ I've cut down to 1 cup of coffee a day, for my stomachs sake. In early 2023, I was at my desk working, and all of a sudden, I saw a huge black shadow in my left eye. It was eye vessels popping and bleeding. 3 lazer surgeries and injections later, they say that I'm okay, but if I hadn't gone in right away, I would have lost my eyesight in that eye.

My daughter is going through that now..2 eye surgeries in one eye, and her other eye had a lot of macular holes which had to be lazered...she's still recuperating form the 2nd surgery on her eye to remove the scar tissue caused by the first surgery...she's been fearful of going blind..her doctor thinks he can get her to 20/30 with corrective lenses..it's been difficult for her to do her job b/c of her current sight disability. You mentioned allergies caused yours..she has some allergies too.

It's been hard, but I got rid of coffee cause I couldn't sleep. I'm barely bringing it back, but I'm feeling better with sleep. Coffee will raise your blood pressure.

Good to hear you are on the up and up. Scary stuff.

@lindacgrace2973 27 дней назад

Thank God you're OK! Tip: drink half-caff. I don't love the taste of decaf, so I mix it 2/3 decaf, 1/3 caffeinated. It tastes better and really helps keep the blood pressure down and prevents the afternoon caffeine crash.

I'm sure glad you found a diagnosis rather quickly. I've had ocular migraines off and on for a number of years but mine don't present with a headache...only spots soooo bad I can't do anything until they subside. My eye doctor told me to take a Tylenol as soon as I feel one coming on. Thanks for the reminder to keep a closer eye on my BP.

I have ocular migraines. My dr is not particularly concerned.

Caffeine can kill! I drink decafe coffee 1cup a day. My heart dr. Advised me to stay away from a lot caffeine 15 years ago. 2 of my boys drink energy drinks, they are loaded with caffeine. I tell them about it. Caffeine slows down blood flow. Glad You are ok. Supplements are not all safe either. Glad you are ok!!🙏🏼✝️

@wendyeskelin8765 27 дней назад

I'm so glad you're ok. It really does scare you going online which is the worst thing you can do, but a lot of times the doctors are worthless so you have to take things into your own hands. It's great that you're sharing to help others ! Those energy drinks are dangerous.

@cjhoward409 26 дней назад

But some people stuck their head in the sand and ignore the hints that our bodies give us. They don’t want to know. My father in law did that and my husband had an uncle who did the same thing. They didn’t go to a Dr till it was too late

@patriciacerwin6266 27 дней назад

Just be aware, ocular migraines can happen periodically. My first one happened when working in the kitchen and my right eye went bonkers. All bright colored lights and shapes, like a calidescope. Have them periodically, sometimes I lose sight, or becomes watery and blury, bright lights, etc. Mine seem to come when I'm trying to do housework and bending down. Definitely a bit scary but apparently ocular migraines are a bit common. Glad you got it taken care of, but know it might happen again but in a different way.

@Nwladylaura369 26 дней назад

I’ve had a few of them. So glad they don’t come with the pain!

@dorawedlock3969 26 дней назад

My ocular migraines are gray spinny things in front of my that I can’t see through.I lay down with my eyes shut and they go away after a while. I usually drink decaf soft drinks.

@bobbid65 22 дня назад

Thanks for the matter-of-fact report. I agree with your "learnings." Good practices. I have quit coffee but still drink black tea and diet soda. I'm encouraged to kick that habit also. 77 years old. It wouldn't hurt for me to exercise more and eat less. 😁 Stay well! 🥰

I’m not around your channel all that often, but this one popped up so hi again! My biggest take from this video, is in my opinion, ALL United States citizens need healthcare. I’ve certainly not always felt this way. We visited a campground for a week in the late 90s and the Canadians were talking about their healthcare and well everything was so different back then. My husband had an actual job and an actual factory with actual money being brought in. Then they moved all those machine shops to China and BAM 💥 my husband’s out of work. AND OUR FAMILY HAS ZERO MEDICAL INSURANCE. We were on unemployment insurance often during the years we were raising our family. We made too much to get Medicaid for the kids, but not enough to be able to actually go to the doctor. It’s a quite a thing that we have citizens in this country who might find a lump, but don’t have the money to go get it checked out. Let alone pay for cancer care if that’s what it would be. In my honest opinion, now that I’m on Medicare for my health insurance and since I’m broke they put me on Medicaid, I pay ZERO to go to the doctor. I did have trouble recently because Physical Therapy did not take Medicaid and so I would have to pay the 20% of Medicare does not pay so they said I could not go there !🤯. They didn’t even ask me if I could afford. I wanted to keep going where I would owe the 20%. They just said I can’t come there anymore… 😮 Medicare also in my opinion again needs to include dental 🦷. Now that my savings funds are zero and I have what I have for Social Security income, I believe Medicare should pay for dental, eyes and hearing aids. It’s just my opinion. Nobody has to agree with me. This is long. I know it’s too long for anyone to bother reading. It’s just an event of mine I guess. And be careful who you vote for! One of ours parties want to take MEDICARE totally away. 😮💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

@Michelle_Emm 26 дней назад

Have you tried taking 400mg of VitB2? Fellow migraine sufferer here, tried all the meds, nothing helped much. I read some very positive research on B2 and migraines and decided to try it. It's cheap and safe, I figured I had nothing to lose. It took about a month before I started noticing a slight improvement in both frequency and duration. After 3 months the migraines had become headaches, easily controlled with some paracetamol. Now, 9 months on, I haven't had a migraine for 5 months and only occasionally get a mild headache. To say I'm absolutely astonished that it worked is an understatement. I haven't needed migraine medication for over 7 months.

Yes, computer glasses are a must for some of us! And I also get some sort of special coating to help versus the "blue lights." So far, so good.

Caffeine can really do a number on a person! I had a scare about ten years ago and went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Good news after all the tests was that my heart, BP and arteries were fine! Turns out, it was my heavy coffee consumption. As we age, caffeine can have more profound effects on our bodies. I switched to de-caf and my problems resolved.

@@Joce123 There may be trace-amounts even in decaf, and you have to watch the ingredients in other foods/beverages. But, my efforts paid off. I also sleep better.
