Wierd situation with my eyes

Last night I ate a 3 ounces hamburger patty that didn't agree with me. Almost immediately i threw it back up! There was even a little blood in with it. I called my bariatric nurse and she said to not be alarmed and take pepcid ac for 2 weeks and go liquid for 24 hours. About 2 - 3 hours later my eyes looked wierd. They had these red splotches all around them like an allergic reaction. I have never had a reaction to anything. I had not even taken the pepcid yet. My sister is a nurse and she gave me some benedryl and eye drops. I took 2 benedryl last night. This morning it is worse. Same puffy red spotchy around eyes. Now my eyeballs have red blood pools at the bottoms. Has anyone ever had this happen after throwing up??

Most likely you ruptured vessels in your eyes from the strain of throwing up. I would however, give your doctor another call, or have your eye doctor check them out. The tissue puffiness AROUND the eye could be something as simple as allergies. But you won't know unless you see your provider.

I had burst blood vessels in my eye when i woke up from surgery. It is scary looking but not dangerous and it goes away in several weeks.

That sounds like spontaneous hemorraghing relating to throwing up. I had that once about 30 years ago when I threw up during a kidney xray test when the dye made me vomit on the xray table. Looks like crap but goes away on its own. Sorry you were that sick!

Wanted to give an update to my eye situation. I went to my eye doctor and my regular physician. I have ruptured blood vessels in my eyes - not serious though. My regular dr. says it is actually not uncommon for throwing up. I will take 7 - 10 days to heal so for now I look really wierd. But the good thing is that it will heal and no problems!:thumbup:
