Hi woosmummy
Sorry to hear you have the ole pulsing eye thing. I was referred for a scan but it never happened because the second specialist, after checking my eyes again and checking neck pulses etc, decided there was no reason to do it.
I was somewhat cross after waiting several months for nothing to happen but my first guy, one of the senior consultants at the regional hospital, reassured me that it really is probably just a question of my having become sensitive to eye issues because of the PVD and advised me to learn to ignore the pulse.
Following this I did my best to not pay attention to the pulsing and have been quite successful although when my bp raises or alters (my parkinson's medication has a bit of an effect on this) I am aware that it is still there.
I remain reassured however because (1) there have been no other symptoms (2) problems with eyes tend to evolve rapidly rather than slowly and a lot of time has now passed without further problems (3) I know my family Dr would refer me again to the specialist if I felt it necessary.
Hope this helps
