In the midst of complete health, you suddenly began to notice unusual symptoms that were not there before. For example, for unknown reasons, your heart rate increases, you are worried about dry mouth or other unpleasant sensations. Do not ignore these alarm bells, because each of them carries information about certain problems in your body. Perhaps, to eliminate the problem, it will be enough to adjust your diet and improve your lifestyle, but it is possible that you will have to take your health seriously. Moreover, the sooner you do this, the easier it will be to fix the problem.
Do you lick your lips often? Keep in mind: if this happens outside, the skin becomes chapped and dries out. Often this condition is caused by a lack of vitamins and amino acids. Another reason may be the use of poorly selected cosmetics - cream or lipstick to which you are allergic. For some people, the skin of the lips “does not like” nicotine: it reacts with inflammation and dries out. If cracks have formed in the corners of the mouth, this may be due to infection with staphylococcus or yeast.
What to do
If the problem has just arisen, try to work on it yourself. For example, change your lipstick, increase your water consumption (at least 1.5 liters per day). Choose a moisturizing balm or hygienic lipstick containing vitamins A and E. Review your diet. Make sure it contains butter, liver, meat, dairy products, oatmeal, brown bread, vegetables and fruits. At night, do a light lip massage with a softening cream. And be sure to see a doctor: you may need drug treatment.
If you notice that blood appears in your mouth while brushing your teeth, pay attention to your gums. Are you using your brush too hard? Choose another one with softer bristles. But you should know that bleeding gums are observed in many diseases, for example, gingivitis, diabetes, hemophilia, and vitamin C deficiency.
What to do
See a doctor and get tested (blood clotting, prothrombin level). If platelets and prothrombin index decrease, bleeding time increases, you should contact a hematologist. Eat more fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C. Take a multivitamin. It is good to rinse your mouth with a decoction of oak bark, St. John's wort or yarrow (they have tanning properties).
Often the lower eyelid may suddenly twitch, although this unpleasant phenomenon can also occur with the upper eyelid. The reasons are stress, overwork, abuse of strong coffee, prolonged work at the computer, sleep disorders, as well as allergic reactions to household dust or pollen of flowering plants. In severe cases, neurological problems occur.
What to do
Find out and eliminate the cause: normalize sleep, adjust visual stress. Buy special computer glasses. Contact an ophthalmologist to check your visual acuity, and, if necessary, a neurologist.
Sometimes your hands tremble after excessive physical exertion. Fingers may also tremble when strong excitement. As a rule, after the situation returns to normal, the shaking goes away. Tremor is observed with alcohol abuse and serious nervous disorders. In old age, hand tremors may indicate the onset of Parkinson's disease.
What to do
For frequently recurring tremor, you need to consult a neurologist. If, along with trembling of the hands, coordination of movements is suddenly impaired, the face turns red, and vomiting begins - these are signs of acute poisoning. Call a doctor immediately!
You've probably noticed that after working too hard, black dots, “strings”, or both at the same time float before your eyes. In most cases, such unpleasant phenomena are the result of overstrain of the retina. But this may also indicate destructive changes in the vitreous body of the eye that occur with diabetes, vascular diseases and metabolic disorders.
What to do
Reduce eye strain as much as possible, or at least take breaks throughout the working day, and alternately look into the distance and at nearby objects from time to time. In more serious cases, it is necessary to be examined to determine the disease and act on it.

This happens with influenza and others. viral diseases when the fever drops sharply. Although it is possible that you are covering yourself with a blanket that is too warm. But if there are no indicated reasons, it is necessary to find out whether there is some ailment hidden behind hyperhidrosis (thyroid disease, pulmonary tuberculosis).

Most likely, you will need to consult an endocrinologist or phthisiatrician. The examination will include blood tests (general and sugar tests) and urine tests, x-rays of organs chest, thyroid examination.
This rather unpleasant sensation can occur with viral and infectious diseases accompanied by high temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss, and also signal the onset of certain ailments (anemia, diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and a number of others). Saliva production is reduced due to smoking, taking antidepressants, tranquilizers, painkillers, cold medicines, antihistamines and other medications.
What to do
Discuss with your doctor probable reasons Problems. Possibly to restore natural moisture oral cavity He will prescribe a mouth rinse or a drug that stimulates salivation. You will also have to change some habits, since reduced salivation increases the risk of developing gingivitis (inflammatory gum disease), tooth decay and various oral infections (for example, thrush),

Headaches and spots before the eyes can appear for many reasons. Most often, spots of different colors and shapes become noticeable when a person looks at light-colored objects. Symptoms appear regardless of gender and age. However, patients notice them only after they appear. Over time, people stop paying attention to them. But spots before the eyes, especially if they are accompanied by headaches, can indicate the presence of serious disorders and diseases. In some cases, pathologies lead to complete or partial loss of vision. That is why you should not ignore such symptoms and immediately consult a doctor.
Why do flies appear?
Floaters that periodically appear before the eyes can have different shapes, appearances and colors. They appear due to the destruction of vitreous glass. It consists of water and special protein substances that have a gel-like consistency. Under the influence of certain factors, it begins to disintegrate into particles. It is they who merge with each other and form clumps, which appear as black dots, spots and a veil. In medicine, this condition is called destruction and can occur for several reasons:
- Violation of the integrity of the vessel in the eye.
- Eye injury.
- Retinal detachment.
Destruction is also diagnosed in elderly patients, since over time the structures of the eye, like other organs, wear out.
Other causes of floaters and headaches
Destruction does not affect the quality of vision and is not considered a threat to human health. The appearance of various spots or branches before the eyes and headaches can be caused by other reasons:
- VSD. Dystonia is one of the most common diseases, characterized not only by headaches and floaters. The pathology manifests itself with various symptoms against the background of impaired blood circulation in the brain and the functioning of the central nervous system. Many patients with established VSD are bothered by small black or white floaters.
- Osteochondrosis. The pathology is characterized by deformation and destruction of cartilage tissue in the intervertebral discs. As a result, blood circulation to the brain and eyes is impaired. Retinal ischemia occurs, which is accompanied by dizziness, headaches and blurred vision.
- Pregnancy. The most wonderful period in a woman’s life can be overshadowed by the appearance of spots and headaches. Symptoms appear against the background of anemia, insufficient amounts of vitamins, fatigue and decreased blood pressure. However, they do not pose a risk to the health of the woman and baby.
Another reason for the appearance of unpleasant symptoms can be anemia, when the body lacks hemoglobin, as a result of which the body does not receive enough oxygen.
Special causes of headaches and floaters
Floaters that appear before the eyes and are accompanied by a headache, in certain cases indicate serious disruptions in the functioning of systems and organs. In this case, you should immediately contact medical institution, since delay can cost lives. TO dangerous reasons symptoms include:
- Stroke. It can be recognized by a sudden headache, difficulty pronouncing words, weakness in one limb and the appearance of facial asymmetry. If these symptoms appear, you need to call an ambulance and provide the person with fresh air.
- Hypertensive crisis. Often people themselves know about the presence arterial hypertension. Main feature disease is a sharp increase in blood pressure. At this moment, the retina of the eye ceases to receive the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients. An increase in blood pressure is accompanied by the appearance of floaters, headaches and a decrease in the quality of vision. Over time, its complete or partial loss is possible. If the patient undergoes a course of therapy in a timely manner, vision restoration is possible.
- Internal bleeding. It can occur with a blow to the abdominal area, spleen, or against the background of an ectopic pregnancy. Accompanied by dizziness, increased sweating, loss of consciousness and weakness. The patient needs to be hospitalized urgently.
For most people who have noticed the presence of floaters before their eyes, accompanying phenomena also become common: blurred vision and dizziness, as well as a general feeling of fatigue. The intensity of the symptoms increases for a few seconds at the moment of standing up or performing inclined actions, this usually does not indicate anything serious. Although this rule has some exceptions.
The main reason for the flickering of flies is destructive processes in the vitreous body, that is, the formation of clots from the collapsed gel-like collagen protein in the intraocular fluid. They block the rays of light that should fall on the retina, which creates the effect of floaters.
When the retina is detached, black spots appear in front of the eyes, blocking most of the field of vision. This disease is typical for older people whose eye structure is destroyed due to damage to the vascular walls or eye injury. But people who have undergone cataract surgery or suffer from myopia are especially susceptible to it.
There are other factors that provoke similar manifestations:
- VSD.
The flashing of flies before the eyes is one of the common signs of VSD. The symptom manifests itself especially clearly during overwork, lack of sleep, stress, and nervous disorders. - Diseases of the vertebrae (in the neck area).
Pathologies of this kind are characteristic of cervical osteochondrosis. Because of them, the nutrition of various parts of the brain (including visual centers) and eyeballs may deteriorate. Ischemia (impaired blood circulation) in these areas leads to the patient feeling dizzy and dizzy, with blurred vision appearing before the eyes. - Tachycardia (rapid heartbeat).
The symptom complex of dizziness, weakness, spots before the eyes, and a feeling of one’s own heartbeat is familiar to almost everyone who has been diagnosed with tachycardia. They also experience lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and blurred visual perception. - Anemia.
Lack of hemoglobin can provoke hypoxia, which leads to weakening of the body and the appearance of flies. - Pregnancy.
A woman carrying a child often suffers from physiological anemia, vitamin deficiency and overwork; everything is blurry in her eyes. Another characteristic phenomenon during pregnancy is a decrease in blood pressure. You can usually get rid of these symptoms by simply taking a walk and getting some sleep. - Taking inappropriate medications.
People taking antidepressants, oral contraceptives, or sedatives also often feel dizzy and have blurred vision. The source of the problem may be drugs to normalize cardiac activity, which cause an increase in intraocular pressure, which negatively affects vision (its sharpness decreases, glaucoma may occur). - Intoxication.
Strong food poisoning causes damage optic nerve And nervous system in general, which provokes attacks of dizziness and flickering in the eyes. - Infectious diseases.
If everything around blurs in the eyes, and light stimuli cause the patient to become too strong reaction, then perhaps it's all about an eye infection. You cannot cope with such a problem without the help of a specialist. - Early sclerosis.
The main manifestations of the disease: fog before the eyes and abnormal gait. Due to the absence of other pronounced symptoms, sclerosis often begins to be treated only several years after its onset. Sometimes it is confused with neuralgia trigeminal nerve and other neuropathies.
But all these pathologies usually do not pose a threat to the patient’s life and timely treatment is enough to normalize the patient’s condition.
When to Call a Doctor Immediately
Veil before the eyes and headache with periodic dizziness can be the result of not only mild, but also truly severe disorders, including:
- Stroke. Associated symptoms of this pathology: facial asymmetry, difficulty pronouncing words, muscle weakness in the limbs on one side of the body. Stabilization of the condition is possible only after the provision of qualified medical care.
- Hypertensive crisis. A period of exacerbation of arterial hypertension, during which the pressure level suddenly becomes very high. This is accompanied not only by floaters, but also by other visual impairments. With timely and properly selected treatment, vision returns completely.
- Injuries internal organs. It could be a rupture of the spleen caused by a blow to the abdomen, or an ectopic pregnancy. In both cases, the person is in a state of weakness, feels dizzy (even to the point of loss of consciousness), nausea, and his body becomes cold and sticky from sweat. In this condition, the patient requires emergency medical care and immediate hospitalization.
In addition, special attention should be paid to the likelihood of pathologies affecting the central and peripheral nervous system.
Neurological diseases
For diseases of a neurological nature, the presence of floaters and dizziness is most natural.
The growth of tumors or pathological muscle weakness in the occipital region (the location of the visual centers) leads to diplopia (double vision). But such illnesses are rare. Therefore, if a patient has double vision and is dizzy, then most likely we are talking about disturbances in the functioning of the extraocular muscles.
Another neurological disease is migraine. Blurred vision and headache are its usual symptoms. Most often, women over 40 years old face this disease; young girls are almost unfamiliar with this problem.
We also must not forget about traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The main symptoms of brain damage often include:
- fainting;
- spots in the eyes;
- severe headaches and dizziness;
- memory loss;
- speech disorders;
- muscle spasms, cramps, etc.
Other symptoms are related to the exact location of the injury. For example, damage to the occipital region can lead to instant blindness, or visible objects will begin to double in the eyes.
Diagnostics
Floaters are especially visible if a person looks at something bright: snow, a cloudless sky, a bright light bulb. In some cases, the duration of this visual effect becomes long enough and begins to cause concern.
The very first step in this case should be a visit to an ophthalmologist, thanks to which it will be possible to identify the presence (absence) of visual disturbances in an adult, teenager or child and decide on the need for other studies.
If, according to the ophthalmologist, everything is in order, then you need to visit a therapist who will assess the patient’s condition and, if necessary, give him a referral to doctors of another profile.
Bottom line
There are too many reasons for the simultaneous occurrence of spots before the eyes and dizziness for you to independently determine the source of the problem. In this case, only professional diagnosis and treatment can help, the course of which, based on the data obtained, will be determined by a specialist.

Ludmila asks:
Hello! I live in Norway. Everything is very complicated with medicine. Or rather, getting a referral from your regular doctor to any specialist is very difficult and takes a lot of time waiting. Tell me why this is happening to me. A severe, persistent headache begins that lasts 2-3 days, and then the left eye fills with blood and severe lacrimation, but the headache does not go away. This has been happening all the time lately. Thank you.
Answers Maykova Tatyana Nikolaevna:
Lyudmila, most likely half of your head hurts and then lacrimation begins and the veins of the mucous membrane of the eye begin to overflow with blood. It is similar to migraine-like pain and is quite difficult to treat. After all, according to my recommendations, you cannot write out a prescription and receive medicine there. You can relieve pain there with solpadeine. But keep in mind that this can be done no more than 2 times a month, like other painkillers like paracetamol, which can be bought without a prescription. In any case, stop drinking coffee, tea, get enough sleep, walk. These pains may get worse. Then it’s better for you to fly to Kyiv for 1 day, you will be examined and prescribed treatment, which you will take there. There is no other way out.
Victor asks:
Please tell me, for two days in a row I have had pain in the back of my head, and at the same time my right eye is inflamed (red), it hurts to look at the light.
A couple of months ago, the same thing happened, I went to the doctor, they didn’t make a diagnosis, they prescribed drops that helped a little. Please tell me what it could be?
Answers:
Hello, Victor! Redness of the eye and photophobia are characteristic of conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye. This disease is viral or bacterial in nature. Any infection can lead to general intoxication of the body, one of the manifestations of which is headache. Or maybe there is no connection between the headache and conjunctivitis in your case. Then the cause of the headache can be high or low blood pressure and a number of other conditions and diseases. You need to contact an ophthalmologist and get recommendations for the treatment of conjunctivitis, and then consult a therapist and undergo a general examination with mandatory blood pressure monitoring. Take care of your health!
Siyan asks:
Hello Alexey!
I have myopia -3.5. I have been wearing contact lenses for two years now and my eyes are always red. For the 3rd day now my eyes have become very red. what should I do help me. How can you restore your vision? If I give birth, myopia will not greatly affect childbirth? They say that after giving birth my eyesight will worsen, is that true? If I use the wrong lens, my eyes hurt. Thanks in advance
Answers Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello Siyana! Dry eyes can occur for many reasons. There are syndromic dry eye, artificial, and also symptomatic, that is, accompanying certain types of eye pathology and operations on the organ of vision, certain hormonal disorders (in particular, pathologies of the thyroid gland, diabetes mellitus, climacteric syndrome), a number of somatic diseases, local and enteral administration of some medicines(for example, antidepressants), vitamin deficiency A. There are such forms of dry eye syndrome: recurrent microerosion of the cornea or conjunctiva of the eyeball, macroerosion of the cornea or conjunctiva of the eyeball, “dry” keratoconjunctivitis, “filamentous” keratitis. Each form requires an individual approach to treatment, so do not delay seeking qualified medical help. You need a face-to-face consultation with an ophthalmologist. The complex of therapeutic measures should include diet correction, lifestyle modification, as well as the use of drugs that improve the reparative properties of tissues, for example, the drug Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel.

Natalya asks:
Hello!
Periodically, in the corners of my eyes (both external and internal) some substance appears that crystallizes, I constantly try to remove it from my eyes, because of which there is terrible irritation in the corners, sometimes I rub it to such an extent that it bakes unbearably. I thought I was allergic to some cream, I changed it, still the same result. What could it be? Thanks for the answer.
Answers Kozina Ekaterina Nikolaevna:
Hello, Natalia! You definitely need an in-person consultation with an ophthalmologist. Unfortunately, an examination is not possible in a virtual consultation format, and therefore making a diagnosis is almost impossible. And without an accurate diagnosis, it is even more impossible to prescribe the amount of treatment you need.
Most likely you have conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, characterized by hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membrane, swelling and itching of the eyelids, separation and formation of follicles or papillae on the conjunctiva; Sometimes with conjunctivitis, corneal lesions with visual impairment can be detected. There are infectious (bacterial, chlamydial, viral, fungal), allergic conjunctivitis and degenerative diseases of the conjunctiva. Each case requires an individual approach to diagnosis and treatment, so you should not delay your visit to the doctor. IN complex treatment Tissue regeneration stimulants may be necessary, for example Solcoseryl eye gel. Before starting to use the drug, an in-person consultation with an ophthalmologist is required.

Olga asks:
Good afternoon My vision has deteriorated recently. I spend a lot of time at the computer. After consultation with an ophthalmologist, the following diagnoses were made: sl. MAst OI, retinal vascular angiopathy OI. What do these diseases mean and why are they dangerous? The doctor also said that my veins are very pale and swollen, the veins of the veins and eyelids are dilated, the bottom is smooth: the arteries are narrowed. a:b=1:2-3. What does this mean?
Answers Kislitsyn Vasily Vladimirovich:
Mild myopic astigmatism is not a disease, but a refractive error, a feature of the optical system of the eye; correction with glasses is possible if necessary. Retinal agiopathy translated into Russian is vascular pathology, is not a disease and is a symptom of other common diseases (hypertension, hypotension, osteochondrosis, vegetative -vascular dystonia, etc.), 1:2:3 - the ratio of the caliber of the retinal arteries to the veins, in in this case slightly narrowed, almost normal. In any case, retinal angiopathy does not mean much and may simply be an individual feature.
Get more rest, do eye exercises, buy monitor glasses, take eye vitamins.

Hello! I looked at the symptoms described on the website. The only thing that coincides is the burning of the eyes. I still have a feeling of pressure between my eyes, the temperature of my forehead is elevated and my nose is also dry and it burns. A constant desire to lower your head as low as possible so that the blood flows even more. What is this?
Answers Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello, Artyom! Red eye syndrome is a serious problem that requires mandatory examination by an ophthalmologist. With red eye syndrome, it is very important to determine what underlies the visual impairment. Depending on the reasons that caused the pathological condition, the optimal treatment in your particular case can be determined. The success of treatment lies in an individual approach to prescribing a set of therapeutic measures. Among possible reasons redness of the eyes, mechanical factors should be noted (exposure to contact with the eyes foreign bodies, particles of smoke, dust, decorative cosmetics, etc.), chemical factors (chlorinated water, soap, cosmetics, etc.), allergens (of a wide variety of origins). Physical and visual stress can also lead to redness of the eyes. In each case, an individual approach to treatment is important. A set of therapeutic measures may include drugs that accelerate reparative processes in tissues, for example, the drug Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel.

Hello. My eyes really hurt, it hurts even to raise my eyes up or look to the side. I don’t sit at the computer. What should I do?
Answers Medical consultant of the website portal:
Hello Maria! Pain in the eyes is not always associated with pathology of the organ of vision itself - neurological, cardiovascular, endocrine and other diseases can lead to the appearance of this symptom. Nevertheless, the first specialist you should contact for an appointment is an ophthalmologist. Based on the results of the examination and examination, the doctor will determine the need to further search for the cause of the pain and may even immediately determine this cause and prescribe treatment.

Answers Kozina Ekaterina Nikolaevna:
Pain in the eyes accompanies more than a dozen diseases. Moreover, more often these are problems with blood pressure, cervical osteochondrosis, residual effects after undergoing infectious diseases. It makes sense to visit an ophthalmologist and discuss the scope of the examination to determine the causes of your complaints.
Asks Novozhilova Anzhelika Yurievna:
Hello! I have a constant unpleasant feeling in my eyes. As they say: the eyes are hoarse. Like the flu. An unpleasant slight burning sensation, the inability to look straight, a constant irresistible desire to close your eyes, these are the exact symptoms of sore (sore) eyes with a cold. But this is all year round! Our doctors can't say anything. The eyes themselves look normal. Only slightly clouded, having lost their shine.
Answers Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello, Anzhelika Yurievna! The virtual consultation format has limited capabilities, so you need a face-to-face consultation with a specialist in the field of ophthalmology. Your complaints may indicate, in particular, dry eye syndrome. Factors in the development of dry eye syndrome can be both diseases of internal organs (most often, organs of the endocrine system) and external ones: long-term work at the computer, work in a room where there are heaters and air conditioners, dust, tobacco smoke. When working on a computer, do not forget to take breaks every hour for 10-15 minutes. During the break, do eye exercises. And in order for your eyes to rest: go to the window and look as far into the distance as possible, try to consider small details. I also recommend artificial tear preparations that are instilled during the working day. And in the morning and evening I recommend the use of Solcoseryl, a gel to improve nutrition, oxygen metabolism and regeneration of the cornea and conjunctiva.
Special vitamin complexes for the eyes are useful, especially in the autumn-spring period. You can learn more about the problem from the feature article on our medical portal: Dry eyes are not a joy... . All the best!
Irina asks:
Hello. I am 23 years old. I've been wearing contact lenses since I was 15 years old. Almost the same amount of time the corners of the eyes become sour (a typical white clot). When I forget to check every 2 hours, my friends have to delicately point this out. Especially if in the sun and when physical activity. I asked the ophthalmologists, they don’t seem to see any infections. They don't tell you how to fight. But this is at least not aesthetically pleasing, and at the most, I am inclined to believe that there is still some kind of infection in my eye and I have constant bags under my eyes... could they be connected with this? Because I checked my kidneys more than once - Everything is okay. I used to think that this was the eye’s reaction to the lens. But sometimes I can wear glasses for a week, but my eyes don’t stop turning sour. I’ve heard that you can do a kind of sowing? This general analysis? Or is the fence being made for some specific nasty thing? Please tell me what to insist on from the ophthalmologist. Otherwise, in our clinics, until you yourself demand what you need, no one will offer anything. Thank you
Answers Averyanova Oksana Sergeevna:
Often, long-term wearing of lenses leads to dry eyes, in which tears can become more viscous. Try putting Hilo-Komodo in your eyes (or on your lenses) for a month - this is an eye moisturizer based on hyaluronic acid. The drug is absolutely harmless and safe. If the condition does not improve and you decide to clarify the presence of bacterial flora, then for this you need to do a culture from the mucous membrane of the eyes - conjunctiva for the presence of bacterial flora and at the same time carry out (in one study) a determination of the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics (in order to know how to treat infection).
Galina asks:
Hello, my eyeball is pulsating. It’s a very unpleasant sensation, what’s causing this? Thank you.
Answers Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello. Dry eye syndrome is a whole complex various diseases, which can be based on both environmental factors (dry air, heating devices, etc.) and disturbances in the state of one or another organ system (endocrine system, digestive system, connective tissue and so on.). Therefore, an individual approach to both examination and treatment is required. Treatment depends on the cause of dry eye syndrome and should be aimed primarily at eliminating the causes that led to the development of dry eye syndrome. In this case, you cannot do without an in-person consultation with an ophthalmologist. Don't waste time and don't risk your eyesight! The earlier treatment is started, the greater the chance of treatment success. A set of therapeutic measures for dry eye syndrome may include drugs that improve tissue trophism, which enrich tissues with oxygen, moisturize, and relieve discomfort when used daily at night for 10-14 days. For example, the drug Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel. You can learn more about the problem from the feature article on our medical portal: Dry eyes are not a joy... . All the best!
Allah asks:
A year ago, small dots appeared in front of my eyes that did not go away. I was examined by all specialists, even had an MRI - everything was normal, but nothing went away.
Answers Medical consultant of the website portal:
Hello, Allah! Small dots (floaters) before the eyes often appear in absolutely healthy people and are the result of nervous and mental stress. On the other hand, floaters are often a symptom of myopia, astigmatism and other visual disorders. Therefore, get examined by a good ophthalmologist and find out the situation. If everything is fine with your vision, do the following. At the moment the spots appear before your eyes, concentrate and imagine that there is a black dot or one of the letters of the test table in front of your eyes. This exercise leads to the disappearance of flies. Take care of your health!
Maria asks:
My eyes periodically hurt, I wake up at night with pain, by the end of the day they turn red, and sometimes they don’t turn red because of cosmetics, of course.
Answers Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello. Consult an ophthalmologist for an in-person consultation. You need qualified medical care. Red eyes can occur for a variety of reasons. This is an allergic reaction (for example, to cosmetical tools), and mechanical effects (particles of decorative cosmetics getting into the eyes, etc.), chemical effects (again, in particular, components of cosmetic preparations) and even physical or visual strain. At the same time, it is necessary to exclude inflammatory process as a factor leading to redness of the eyes. As you can see, you cannot do without qualified medical care. Treatment in each of these cases must be selected strictly individually and must be comprehensive. The complex of therapeutic measures, at the discretion of your attending physician, may include a drug that moisturizes and enriches tissues with oxygen, relieves discomfort - for example, the drug Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel.

Hello! I am 24 years old. Since I was 14 years old, I have had problems with my nose (constant stuffiness, especially when lying down). Cysts are constantly growing in the maxillary sinuses. Two operations were performed to remove cysts from the maxillary sinuses. I had already come to terms with this matter, but suddenly a tragedy occurred. It all started when a few months ago I underwent neurological treatment at a paid clinic (I was given injections and IVs). It was almost forty degrees outside. After the treatment session, I went home and on the way the following disaster happened. My heart began to beat sharply and I felt pressure somewhere inside my nose (possibly the sphenoid sinus or the ethmoid labyrinth), then something crunched slightly and I felt as if something had passed into my eye area. Out of fear, I fell to the ground and asked passers-by to call an ambulance. They took my blood pressure and said everything was fine. Upon arriving home, I discovered that I couldn’t feel half of my body (as if I was numb). Then a sharp burning sensation began in the back of my head. The pain was so severe that I was rushing around the apartment and didn’t know what to do. The pain intensified when lying on the back, and when bending down it was less intense. Various flies and specks began to appear before my eyes. Dizziness and a sharp deterioration in vision began, as if seeing double. The next day my health improved a little. There was pain in the back of the head, but not as intense as the first time, the numbness of the body went away. But symptoms such as dizziness, unsteadiness of gait and total weakness of the body were discovered. Out of fear, I went to have an MRI of the head and a CT scan of the sinuses. An MRI of the head revealed a small asymmetrical non-occlusive hydrocephalus (according to neurologists, this is nothing serious). On computed tomography pan sinusitis was detected in the sinuses. That is, all sinuses of the nose are affected (sphenoid, ethmoid bone, frontal and maxillary). There is swelling everywhere. Pathological contents were also found in the cells of the ethmoidal labyrinth. I did a general blood test, all indicators were normal. After this attack, I lay in a half-asleep state for about 2 months, while dramatically losing weight (I lost 15 kg). I literally could not walk, stand or sit; I immediately had to lie down. I felt as if there was not enough blood supply to my head, everything that was happening around me seemed to be in slow motion. After another month, my condition returned to normal a little (I could already walk normally and stopped swaying). Now I am tormented by the following symptoms: 1. Constant temperature of 37.5, which has persisted since the attack. 2. Burning in the back of the head when lying on your back. When I lie on my side, it starts to hurt on the right or left side of my head, depending on which side I'm lying on. It feels like it’s the membranes of the brain that hurt, and not somewhere inside. 3. Floaters before my eyes, especially when I look at something bright, for example the sky. 4. A week ago, periodic numbness in different parts of the head began. 5. Severe dry mouth, especially at night. I am worried about this question: could any substance pass from my nose to the brain area, and how can this be checked?
