What Could Cause High BP, Sleep Apnea And Loss Of Vision For Short Time?

I am 26 years old, over weight but my blood pressure is exceptional...I also suffer from sleep apnea and cataplexy. I was wondering if I might be having a mini stroke. On 3 different occasions over the past couple years I have lost perpherrial vision in one eye...sort of looks like I have a big black spot in the way of seeing and sometimes it's pulsating. I also lose feeling in my fingers and palm of my hand. Im not sure if I am giving myself these numbness from having a panic attack from being scared of losing my eyesite or is it something more serious? It usually only lasts for less than an hour or so and then I am fine.

for your eye problem glaucoma to be ruled out first. IOT and field mapping is to be done first. If glaucoma is diagnosed then eye doctor is to decide about medical or surgical treatment. With proper treatment the condition will improve.
