Medical advise needed urgently

2019-08-30 09:37:25
This is related to my mother. She is 66 year old. Asthma patient (uses foracort twice a day). Her eye movement is somewhat restricted in upward direction. And on when trying to focus things on her right side she is showing mild nystagmus. In all other directions movement is fine. This morning she said she was feeling dizzy. I am planning to go to an ophthalmologist but need some advice urgently. 8 months back she had a superficial parotidectomy on her right side. Surgeon used a local anaesthetic as she was having asthma. Please let me know what could be the issue or atleast questions i need to ask the ophthalmologist.
