One Pupil Larger then the Other...and more history on myself

[Monique198130]

.Hi, my name is Monique and I just need some views or possible thoughts to consider....
I turned 30 in December and I am female. I am not over weight or under weight. I try to stay as active as I can and eat as healthy as I can but sometimes eat fast food because of convinience. I do not smoke and occassionally drink. I have given birth to two live children and never have experienced a miscarriage. The health issues that I have is endomentriosis. I had a laproscopy last year in June. I was great for a month and then the symptoms before the surgery has been worse then it's ever been sometimes leaving me disabled and not able to get out of bed at times. I am currently getting a new OBGYN appointment since it's been less then a year since the surgery. Hormone therapy is not working currently. 50% of my reproductive organs were covered but was told the surgery went well and all of the endometriosis was removed but was told to expect it to return later. Prior to the surgery last year I had a tubal ligation in 2003 after my son was born and I turned of age to have the surgery.

So now I have been able to give some info about me and prior health - Here is my concern.....

Tonight someone noticed my left pupil was extremely larger then the other. Strangely enough, I felt something was off in the eye area before it was mentioned. Some distortion also has been noticed this evening.
I recently have been feeling sick to my stomach a lot the last few days due to my sinuses and the drainage involved in my opinion. What had me concerned is the nausea and fullness I have been feeling in my stomach and abdominal area. It feels like my organs are squashed together and that there is no room causing tightness. Just and FYI I have NOT had any issues using the restroom....I have been having slight obdominal cramping as if I am due to start my mentrual cycle but nothing yet. My left ovary has been hurting off and on and then sometimes my right as well. My left ovary was the one that was covered with endometriosis at the time of  surgery and notice that I get more pain on that sign when I have a period. I figured it was from surgery and that is why I experience more pain on that side.
My pupils have been noticable to others because my right one is way larger then my left one. There are moments that I do see sparkles for about 20 seconds which is followed by dizziness but it is not often.
Any thoughts or possible answers that could be causing this?


Thank you very much for any input or advice given, its appreciated.

Sincerely,
Monique .

Hi, I stalked your profile as I was very worried about another post of yours.

Please please don't try and guess, and wait around for answers on here.

I have a friend who nearly died in a car accident after experiencing similar things to you, please just go to emergency, you definately have a right to be there.

PS. Not sure if this is important but when I was 16 I experienced convulsions that could not be properly explained by the attending doctor at the time I was admitted into the hospital by ambulance.
I was not running a fever to cause the convulsions to occur and not under any drugs or alcohol. I was sick with strep throat the week prior and had been off pennicillian for 3 days, still yet I was feeling sick and had a massive headache over those 3 days. I slept for most of those 3 days. They said I had a viral infection (which was told later it was because they had no valid answer to give)
When they had occured, I was about to eat dinner that my mom made but felt really sick and dizzy, I looked up at my mom and said "mom I dont feel so good." In that instant she said that I passed out and she caught me before I hit the floor. I remember feeling my right pinkie finger burning because it fell into the hot plate. The next thing I remember was hearing my mom on the phone with 911 but I was unable to see, move or talk. I was paralyzed the whole time she was on the phone. I could hear everything she was saying and could feel her touching my face but I could not see her and was unable to move any part of my body, I wasnt even able to speak. I was terrified. I finally was able to retain my vision and muscle control when I was in the ambulance. I was confused and very disoriented. After that incident, I never had another convulsion or seizure. I am not sure if that is important but I just thought I would add it just in case..... thanks!
