When you say blurred.....do you mean you are seeing double or that things are fuzzy?

Go to the hospital.

Keeping fit by no means discounts the possibility of having high blood pressure. Get it checked out.

Very true, I cycle 5 miles a day, have a BMI bordering on underweight, don't smoke & I have to take medication for high blood pressure.

The diagnosis came as a complete shock during a routine check up, as there had been no symptoms, at all - the idea that only overweight sedentary people have high blood pressure is not true

Update?

When I was living with Lesleyann she used to have major problems with hay-fever.

I bought a decent air cleaner, I think it was called BIONAIR and it had a true hepa filter. Allways had it running in the bedroom and it used to help her.

I would go to the hospital if I was you.

I was outside about 3 years ago welding, and my eyes started to ache in the evening. I just put it down to a bit of arc-eye, but noticed one was a lot worse than the other.

I woke up in the middle of the following night with the worst pain I have ever experienced, it was just like someone sticking a red hot poker in my eye.
Putting the lights on made it worse, so I had to get dressed in the dark and get my girlfriend to take me to hospital. They found a flake of rusty metal in my eye, as I was wearing goggles with the angle grinder I reckon I must of rubbed in from the sleeve of my overalls into my eye when I was wiping my brow.

I had weeks going back and fore the hospital, and the damage was spot on the centre of my eye. The initial visits were not too bad, even when they scraped the offending piece of rusty metal off with a "needle". The later visits got worse as my eye was getting better, the polishing sessions with a dremel like tool was the worst part.

If you have any doubt get it looked at, if I had gone straight away perhaps the damage wouldn't of been so bad. I still get the occassional session with blurred vision, but usually put that down to the beer.

Managed to get into the Doctors today, he said I've got an infection. He's put me on a course of eye drops with antibiotics in it. I've just put some in and they feel better already.

Glad to hear you are on the mend.

Remember CF will cure many things but for humans a Doctor is usually better.
