@dinoman I know you have been a member for a little awhile but I wanted to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect properly. You mentioned that a side effect of the blood pressure medication you were taking was double vision. I assume you are no longer taking the medication. I'm wondering if your vision improved since titrating off the medication and what your provider's thoughts are regarding the correlation?

No improvement in double vision since going off of medication. I"m getting cataract surgery on both eyes in the coming month. So, I'll see if the double (really poly vision .. I'm seeing 4 images now, two side by side and two above them a bit lighter in intensity) Both eyes are affected, so I"m thinking this might be more muscle related than lens related, but, by the end of the year, I'll be able to 'see' if it
is more lens or muscle related. My doctor really hasn't said anything but to stop the medication (Norvasc - a calcium channel blocker).
My muscle disease is a calcium activated chloride channel, so I was a bit questioning the use of Norvasc in my treatment.
