What Causes A Temporary Loss Of Vision?
Hi, my husband has been having vision issues lately where he would suddenly lost part of his vision for a few minutes. He will be having a meeting or in a meeting and he would suddenly not see parts of the face of the person in front of him. His hands have been shaky too lately and he is extra tired. Last night he went to bed at 7:30pm and even this morning when he woke up he s still feeling tired. He is turning 60yo in a few months, taking heart and blood pressure meds daily.

Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your husband symptoms seem to be related to a temporary vision loss which is named hemianopsia.
It is a condition characterized by reduced blood flow in the eye.
I suggest to check regularly the blood pressure.
I also suggest to do an xray of the head for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!
