Hi, I am 59 years old male, suffered shingles in my right eye about 5 years ago, was diagnosed with Menieres Disease 2 years ago and have constant tinitus in my right ear, plus 50%+loss of hearing in that ear and last week had to visit A&E after suffering dizziness, tightness in my head, slurring of speech and a head ache. The doctor thought I may have had a TIA and prescribed asprin along with a full set of blood tests, a CT scan (which I will have on Friday) and a Doppler scan which has yet to be arranged.
However, today I had a severe sharp stabbing pain in my right eye, which made me physically jump when it came on. It only lasted a minute or so but did leave some discomfort and my eye watering. I then had a second one later in the day, although not quite a severe. The pain was in the right side of the right eye and didn't feel like it was to do with the front of the eye or eye lid.
Someone has mentioned that this could also be a symptom of a TIA. Any comments would be appreciated.
