Im a 22 year old female and about at year ago i found out i had a blood clot in my eye, and i continue to get more of them, i have seen tons of specialists and still no answer. i am also borderline enlarged spleen, i have horrible abdominal pain and have never found a cause for it and had an upper Endoscopy and results were fine. im getting very frusterated and would like to know whats going on. I also have head aches all the time and am very very forgetfull sometimes i forget what im saying in the middle of saying it, i get dissy and disoriented and the doctors are trying to figure it out but its been a year and im worried that it could be something extreamly serious. I also live in a small town so my doctor doesnt deal with alot of problems like this so i figure she just might not know what to look for?

Hi,
Thanks for the updates. It seems that the diagnostic tests and referrals were pretty thorough. Referral to the hematologist will indeed provide us some information regarding the blood clot in your eye. Hang on and stay positive that the underlying cause will be identified. Take care and do keep us posted with the hema consult.

I have been seeing an eye specialist, a nueologist, a gastro- specialist, a internal med specialist, a heart specialist and as of tomorrow i go see a blood specialist. almost everything has come back negitive, ive been tested for lupus that was negitive also. i have had tests done on my heart to see if there was a small hole and my heart is in 100% great condition and have no plaque on my arteries around or in the heart. i have had tons of odd symptoms it was finally the blood clots that were physical proof that something wasnt right.

Hi,
How are you? What diagnostic tests were done already? Since  the blood clots in the eye persists, was there a referral to an eye specialist? Aside from injury to the eyes, other possible causes of this symptoms, are eye strain, coughing, sneezing, and underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure. With  newly formed clots, warm compress may help.  It is good that the endoscopy result was fine. Splenomegaly or enlarged spleen can be caused by a variety of conditions including infection, liver and blood diseases, lymphoma, and even lupus.  Further evaluation may be done to determine the underlying cause. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
