Hi Everyone!
This is something that happened to me a few weeks ago. I didn't think anything of it because I figured it was just one of those visual disturbances we valvers have after surgery. I was walking in the dark to go to bed and I noticed something like a light flashing. Then I would blink and I would notice like a spot of light when I would blink. This only seemed to happen in the dark. I also moved my eyes around and blinked and also noticed the round circles of light. Has anyone here ever had an experience like that? Just curious if this is due to the surgery or if something else is going on. I have also had a couple of very minor situations of having part of my hand tingle/numb and then my finger was tingly and numb for a few seconds. All these happened on seperate occassions. I spoke to my cardio about the numbness feeling and he said that he didn't think that was anything to be concerned about. I guess I am relating all of this to my surgery since none of this stuff happened until after I had my surgery. Let me know what you guys think.
P.S.
When I researched these types of occurances, I found out that multiple sclerosis can sometimes give symptoms like these. I am probably jumping the gun here, but I guess I am just a little concerned.
Thanks & Take Care!
