The symptoms described for the 48-year-old individual, including dizziness, temporary darkness in front of the eyes, and an episode of falling, coupled with a retinal condition involving water (which might be indicative of some form of retinopathy or macular edema), suggest several potential medical conditions that need to be thoroughly evaluated by healthcare professionals. It's important to note that without a complete medical examination, including history, physical examination, and appropriate diagnostic tests, it's impossible to diagnose the condition accurately. However, I can provide some possibilities: orthostatic hypotension: this is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. It can cause dizziness and fainting. Vestibular disorders: issues with the inner ear and balance mechanisms can cause dizziness and a sensation of the environment spinning or moving. Transient ischemic attack (tia) or minor stroke: temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain can cause symptoms like dizziness, vision changes, and balance problems. Cardiac conditions: irregular heart rhythms or other heart issues can lead to reduced blood flow to the brain, causing dizziness and fainting. Retinal conditions: the mentioned 'water in retina' condition could be central serous retinopathy or another form of retinal detachment or edema. These can cause visual symptoms, but they are usually not directly associated with dizziness unless there's a broader underlying condition. Neurological disorders: various neurological issues can lead to dizziness and vision problems. Dehydration or electrolyte imbalance: sometimes, dehydration or imbalances in electrolytes can cause these symptoms. Anxiety or panic attacks: these can also manifest physically with symptoms like dizziness and altered vision, though they are typically accompanied by feelings of extreme anxiety. Given the recurrent nature of these episodes and the seriousness of potential underlying causes, it's crucial for this individual to seek further medical evaluation. This should ideally include a thorough cardiovascular examination, neurological assessment, and potentially, a referral to an ophthalmologist for the retinal issue. Diagnostic tests might include blood tests, ecg, echocardiogram, holter monitoring, mri or ct scan of the brain, and a detailed eye examination.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user the condition you are having is known as blepherospasm in our medical language, and can be due to many reasons, dryness being one of them. But dryness is a chronic problem and needs step wise treatment according to the severity. You need to get certain blood tests done if it’s not resolving with medications. If there is an issue with the blood itself, then it can be treated accordingly. In severe cases, topical and systemic immunomodulators are started if need be. For the persistent spasm per se, certain injections also are available which provide relief by relaxing the lid muscles. I am available for consultation if you need any further help. Thanks.

First of all get bp and rbs checked. Hypotension and low blood sugar are common cause. Get serum electrolytes checked also. Due to summer, it could be dehydration leading to electrolytes imbalance. Do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment if you feel necessary.

Hyperkalemia can cause junctional rhythm and brady. Other causes are symptomatic rbbb, lbbb and/or bifascicular block. In certain persons brady is normal and not a cause of concern. Beta antagonists also lower heart rate. Hypothyroidism and congenital heart disease are other causes. Cardiac evaluation, holter monitoring, serum electrolytes and drug history are required.

Persistent blood on spitting along with cold should not be neglected. It is necessary that exact cause is to be found and proper action taken. Consulting ent specialist first should be helpful. If there is nothing abnormal found and blood continues consult a physician.
