I had a stroke during a procedure for emplacing a stent in one of my coronary arteries. That was in 2006. Don't fool around with it. I had the double vision like you, plus it messed with my balance. Took me about 6 months to get back to anywhere near normal. The stroke was in my brain stem. You need to follow up. Just to make sure it's not a warning of something worse!

Definitely no joke. I had one 7 years ago. Didn’t go to hospital till next day.
They said with immediate treatment I would have faired way better

Take care. And you are in my thoughts.

Take it easy too Ed. Also ask the doctors to make sure it was a stroke. Double vision can be caused by other problems too. Will be praying for you sir. It’s a good idea to see an ophthalmologist as you say you are.

DB. My wife had a stroke 4 years ago. Her blood pressure spiked up. She hadn’t had any issues with BP before. Definitely get it checked out you’ve got a lot of fish left to catch.

Yes, definitely get help immediately. I had a minor stroke in my left eye. I was alone at the time and didn't realize what was happening. This minor stoke took 3/4 of my left eye's vision. My eye doctor told me if I had come in immediately he could have put me in a bariatric chamber with high oxygen content and possibly saved that eye's vision. There are things that can be done so act quickly. Just Sayin...RJS

Go to the er, get the scan done and know for sure about the stroke. I had exactly the same sequence of events. The tests are easy and no pain. Mine showed no stroke and some eye exercises took care of the double vision. I don't know where you are but I went to Wills eye hospital in Philadelphia.
