What Causes Dizziness And Blurred Vision After An Ankle Injury?

I feel pretty hard and hurt my ankle, right above where I ve broken my foot before. I went to the hospital and they did and X-ray and said it was just a sprain. That was two days ago. Today, I ve been lethargic, dizzy, and my vision has been blurry. Is it related? Should I be worried?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms are not related to the sprain in your ankle. Have you taken any painkillers or opioids for the pain during these days.
This situation could be related to your therapy adverse effects.
I recommend you to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate and take plenty of water.
If this situation persists, I recommend going to the ER for a physical check up and some tests : complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes, Dr. Aida
