Temporary vision loss
I was away from home last week, in Portugal. I have been having some mild and rare headaches since October. I told my onc but he did not seem worried. I am on Faslodex and it is a frequent side effect. I had a mild headache again for a day and all of a sudden, I loss the vision in one eye for 30 seconds. It came back gradually in 15 minutes. I was really scared. I managed to see an eye doctor. He really examined the eye and said there was nothing. He tryed to reassure me saying it is not due to a tumor and that there was no hemorrhage. He said it could come from a sudden dilatation of a vessel. (that's what I understood) He said that if it happened again, I should see a cardiologist. I saw one 6 months ago and everything was fine. I have neither high blood pressure, neither cholesterol. I have a headache again today.
Do you think I should ask for a MRI?
