How To Treat Conjuctivitis And Double Vision While Suffering From High BP?

Hello, I wondered if you could advise me, I had cold sores in each corner of my mouth for over 6 months. Nothing I usually did to get rid of them worked, then one day they just disappeared.Very quickly after , my left eye become swollen and painful and I was told by my doctor it was conjunctivitis, although I also had uncontrolled high blood pressure ( I ve been on tablets for high bp for 5 years) at the time 181/126 was my reading . I was experiencing double vision too.My eye cleared up after using the eye drops. Now , in getting pain around my left eye socket, if I put my fingers on my closed eyelids I can feel my left one has a bump where my right doesn t. I can t see any difference between the look of the eyes when I look in the mirror. Now the whole left hand side of my face is slightly swollen , even the left hand glands in my neck. My ears are irritating me and I can feel pain in my left side jaw and both ears.I would appreciate any advice, thank you.Joanne

Hi Joanne and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms which you have descripbed are suggestive of some kind of infection, which is the reason your glands in the neck are swollen and you have pain and irritation in your ears and jaw.
Your BP also seems to be on the higher side even with medication.
I suggest that you see an internist ASAP to get you BP under control and take care of your infection.
All the best !!!
