G force test subject

As a Centrifuge test subject back at Brooks AFB, TX I subjected my body to extreme G forces for several months during 1980 - 1981. The test was to observe the effects of G forces at 3G's and 7G's back and forth until I released the button or passed out. Though I never passed out, I was not a participant in the exercise regimen, as I was told, my handling of the G forces were extraordinary (please, I am not bragging).
I was a 20 y/o male at the time and now am 56 y/o and I often wonder if blurred vision is a side effect from G forces or merely old age. I do admit I rode hard, and they called me "cowboy". Guess this is why I received "Hazardous Duty Pay". I was on flying status as an A1C. Maybe I should have thought twice .
I have not been able to find much on long term side effects of G forces. Perhaps I should be focusing more on a CVA, Have not had a TIA, yet.
