Medical advise needed urgently
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.
