I know the doctor treating me for Lyme Disease ran some clotting tests on me, and they did come back abnormal. I realized this even before my car accident and seizure, when I was driving home from the store one night.I could barely see the road. No, my pupils are definitely tiny, even in a dimly lit room. Rule #1 in medicine : "if it ain't broke - don't fix it" to be honest with you, dont worry about it if you haven't got any symptoms. this doesnt make their body abnormal its just the tone of their heart muscle is better.Ĭauses of pinpoint pupil usually are associated with acute events like strokes ( usually in the pons) and drug overdoses (pesticides etc). some athletes are perfectly healthy and have a pulse rate of 40/min ( eg usain bolt types). If say 95% of people have a pulse rate between 60-90/min then that is taken as "normal" ( and it is). There is no definition of "Normal" that fits everybody in medicine. obviously it is much harder to check if your eyes dilate than if your eyes constrict ( though you can induce this by pinching the side of the base of your neck ( trapezius muscle) on the side of the pupil you are checking) you should also have trouble driving because accomodation from near to far vision usually dilates pupils. if you have severe visual blurring and eye pain ( like what happens when you walk into a brighlty lit room after an eye check up when they dilate your pupils) your pupils are too small ( but i find this highly unlikely). Try going from a brightly lit room to a less lit ( but not completely dark) room. How large should my pupils be in a darkened room? I couldn't even drive at night anymore even if this seizure stuff was behind me because of how tiny my pupils are day and night.Īnybody else have this pinpoint pupil problem? They DON'T check to see if they enlarge in darkness. Whether I am standing in the sun or sitting in the dark, my pupils are ALWAYS tiny, and neuros have only ever checked to see if shining a light in my eyes causes my pupils to get any tinier.

By that I mean that they don't respond to DARKNESS by enlarging, which is perhaps why even neuros don't understand why I'm so concerned and frustrated. I keep mentioning my pinpoint pupils to doctor after doctor, even the neuro who is currently evaluating me for these seizures, and though my pupils react somewhat to light (barely), I do not believe their size is truly 'normal' by any means. What was interesting about this particular seizure though was that I happened to be OCD-cleaning something (I have OCD, too) and standing in front of the bathroom mirror at the seizure's onset.Īt the very first sign of this seizure (a funny taste in my mouth), I happened to be 'conscious' enough to briefly glance at my face in the mirror and noticed that for a fraction of a second (literally.less than a second) my pupils grew larger, but then they quickly reverted back to their 'normal' pinpoint size as the dizziness/confusion part of my seizure began. Back on February 3, 2011, I had my second seizure since ending up in a ditch back in December.
