Q: Visual problems; blurred vision , trouble focusing , headach
asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 3rd, 2007
I have visual problems; blurred vision, trouble focusing, headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, light sensitivity, can't tolerate fast moving objects like video games or the way most TV shows and commercials use dizzying camera work, also have frequent gagging, dry heaving, and occasional vomiting for no apparent reason, not triggered by any particular thing or event or food., extreme fatigue, can sleep for 16 hours at a time with no problem. Have a history of hypertension but not taking anything now, last medicine made above symptoms worse so doctor discontinued them. Have frequent bowel problems, diarehha, constipation, urgency, and occasional bleeding from hemmroids.
Our doctors thus far have not been able to help me. Please give me your opinion on what you think may be wrong. Thank you.

"List of other diseases, conditions, or injuries and their treatment: Mis-shapen ear canal on left side, multiple small white spots on MRI of brain, went to dizziness clinic 7 years ago, told to do activity that makes me dizzy and eventually it would go away, Vit. B 12 level is low, taking supplement now. History of migraines.
Have a diagnosis for the current condition: no

Current medical status: been to a regular MD, EENT, neuroglogist, opthomologist. Had MRI of brain as above, lumbar punture, blood work. So far all that's come up is low Vit B 12 level, multiple white spots on brain, told this could be due to history of migraines, and that the left ear canal is not shaped properly."



Some of your symptoms (vision problems) could be due to brain lesions. A Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia and neuropathy. Another disorder that can cause similar blood spots in the brain is multiple sclerosis (MS). Additionally, the bowel problems you report (diarrhea and constipation) could be related to the initial condition that caused the disturbed absorption of Vitamin B12. You can consult an internist and neurologist about your condition. Folic acid in the blood should be also checked because its deficiency can also cause similar disorders.
