I have a number of symptoms and feel really worried blurred vision and abnormal sporadic vision changes ,throat is experiencing over time of approximately 2 years gradual changes like persistent dryness to the point of being painful and difficulty swallowing ...I also have had trouble eith muscle strength in almost every part of my body .weakness numbness or lack of coordination and falling and or dropping things often ...sometimes I feel fine but never for long? Bowel movements go from normal to sometimes I literally have to use my hand to extract feces and its weird to say it returns to normal usually next day.recently my hearing also was not working in left ear and I have had severe asthma nearly did not make it to ER

For blurred vision
1) get your refraction done and wear a correct power spectacle
2) complete eye check up is needed to rule out treatable cause of
cause of blindness(eg cataract )
Hope you are not using atropine (dhatura)in any form which can cause a) dilated pupils and dryness in eyes and hence blurred
vision
b) dryness of mouth
c) constipation

For difficulty in swallowing
since you said you have muscle weakness in other part of body so it is advisable to rule out myaesthenia gravis if you have following symptoms
a) fatigue n tiredness at end of day or with minimal activity
b) difficulty in speaking
c) shortness of breath with minimum walking or working

Loss of hearing could be age related or due to impacted wax.its better to see ENT doctor for that.
Hope this helps.
