blurred vision

[warpalien]

anyone else get blurry vision when they lift hard?

i got blurry vision when on clomid actually..........freaked me out.

[LOCO]

never heard of it... the only explanation i can think of is ur blood pressure shoots through the roof, causing increase of pressure in ur eyeballs... which then expands them by a fraction of a millimeter, just enough to mess up the focal point, thus causing bloored vision.

[warpalien]

yeah its gets bad after each set of reps. i have to break to let it clear just out of fear.

u could have proplems with the draining system of ur eyes... possibly an indication of glaucoma... how old are u?
get visual field testing done...

23. last eye exam was about 2-3 years ago so im probably due. i'll get it checked

[LOCO]

23 is young but it's carried over genetically too... i did visual field testing a while back... and usually most patients were 40+ but we did get younger ones every once in a while too.....
also the darker ur skin is (the more melanin u got) the worse it is for ur eyes.. higher chances of glaucoma, cataracts etc..
ask ur opthamologist to have the visual field test done..

im pretty white, with blue eyes. they checked me for glauc last time with no probs, but this is a recent development. maybe it is glauc, i wonder if my state has legal marijuana for glauc patients. lol

lol u dont have glaucoma.I know what your talking about because it happens to me.Its like blood rushing to your heads when you really bust your ass on the last rep.Its some kind of head rush.

when i pcik up the 150 pound dumbells to do some fly's i see A bright Blob and it pulsates with my Heart beat... and when i put them down the floor sparkles but thats about the only time i guess because im straining very hard.... High BP can give u distorted vision.

i get light headed after heavy squats but not blurred vision

What cycle are you on now? And it sounds very relative to blood pressure but lack of hydration as well.

Potassium stabilizes blood pressure and if you are sweating -- you are losing key electrolytes to balance your blood pressure when the body is put under strain (ie., lifting, running etc).

I would have your BP checked -- I would also reevaluate your cycle not only doses but synergisitic effects of stacked compounds and up your fluid intake == particularly water (clear fluids).

I would also make it a habit to drink some sort of sports drink during your workouts replacing valuable electrolytes.

And indeed have your eyes checked.

im on abombs 50mg a day, sust250 @ 500mg/w.

i get blurred vision even off cycle though. like last night i was getting it, took a bit of a rest, started lifting again and it was fine didnt come back. i drink a lot of water while working out.

i alawys heard drinking things like gatorade were bad while working out?
