Hello, I am 39 years old and I have Cystic Fibrosis and recently I have been having signs and symptoms I have never had before.
Sometimes when I cough hard or have a coughing spasm, my vision begins to get blurry to the point everything I look like is intermingled and I can not seperate items. Also at this time, I get numbness in my legs and arms and sometimes the back of the neck and I feel pressure in my chest which goes on for about 1/2 hour to and hour. The vision stays blurry but eventually gets better which lasts for an hour or so.
I have told my doctor of this happening and they have run neurological and heart tests which come back all normal. All bloodwork is also normal. I am NOT on O2 as my oxygen sats have been 97-100% and my blood sugar levels have been in the normal range and I do NOT have diabetes.
The reason why I am asking this is because it happened over the weekend. I had a couging spasm and I felt it coming on. My upper right leg went numb and tingling and my upper left arm did the same and my vision got blurry. THIS FREAKS ME OUT and I start to get anxiety which I realize and try to calm down, take slow deep breaths and just close my eyes.
Does anyone or has anyone ever have this happen to them and if so, do they know the causes? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. MAN I AM GETTING OLD!!!!!...lol. Thank you.
