Hello,
Noting your mother's history of
- Hypothyroidism, on T. Thyroxine 125mcg
- Type 2
Diabetes, which appears under control wIth the medication she is taking, it is important for you to mention the exact medications and doses, and if she is taking them regularly.
First cause, of blurring vision in morning which improves after eating breakfast, can point to reduced
sugar level in the morning, possibly due to more than required lowering blood sugars from either the medications for Diabetes she might be taking at night, due to the type and quantity of food she is taking the night before or if she is not consuming her medication regular as advised.
Second cause is the eleveted blood pressure, it is on the higher side, a BP of over approximately 160 above and 100 below recorded multiple times in a day, with any alarming symptoms is a sign of concern and requires you to immediately consult a nearby physician.
A BP recording of more than 130/ 90 recorded multiple times a day should be evaluated and appropriate medication must be started.
