Blurry Vision After Taking Mukta Vati - #51624

Consulting the AYURVEDIC shalakya ENT SPECIALIST for better examination and treatment

Yes it happened due to the Mukta Vati. Currently Do NOT give Mukta Vati today (pause it completely until doctor sees her). Monitor BP every 2–4 hours (sitting & standing) – record readings + time. If BP drops <100/60 or she feels dizzy/faint then lie down, elevate legs, give small salty snack (if no fluid restriction). If BP >180/110 or severe headache/chest pain → emergency hospital NOW. ✓For stomach pain: Give 1 tsp Kamadhudha Ras (Moti Yukta) or Avipattikar Churna 3 gm with cool water (soothes stomach lining fast). Avoid spicy/oily food today; give only light khichdi, banana, coconut water, or thin buttermilk. ✓Hydration & rest Small sips of room-temp water or ORS if tolerated. Keep her calm & resting in semi-sitting position. ✓Get ECG, electrolytes, kidney function, possible adjustment of BP meds ✓Long-term advice Mukta Vati worked well before but now showing side effects , may need dose reduction or switch to gentler options (Arjunarishta 10–15 ml BD or Sarpagandha alone in micro-dose). ✓Always take with food + monitor BP standing/sitting. Never restart without doctor approval. Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

HELLO, Blurry vision after taking Mukta vata can happen in some situations , especially in elderly patients with heart conditions. Since your girlfriend is 87 year old with a history of heart attack and heart failure, this symptoms should be taken seriously POSSIBLE REASONS 1) SUDDE DROP IN BLOOD PPRESSURE -Mukta vati can lower blood pressure quickly if taken on an empty stomach.

very important to note that like modern medicines have a time to be taken so does ayurved medicines. KAL (time) is very important and medicines should not be taken as required. About blurred vsion like you mentioned she woke up with a raised BP it is very possible that the raised BP had caused some disturbance in her retinal area or occular area. Get a detailed consultation from an opthalmologist and also a cardiologist and also get a 2 DEcho and if required a Brain CT.

- Mukta Vati is an Ayurvedic formulation often used for mild to moderate hypertension. - Taking it without food may sometimes cause stronger effects on blood pressure or interact with digestion, but blurry vision is not a typical side effect. Blurry vision after high blood pressure can be due to: - Hypertensive crisis affecting the eyes (retinal changes). - Reduced blood flow to the optic nerve or brain. - Medication timing or interaction. Given her history, the blurry vision is more likely linked to the blood pressure spike itself rather than Mukta Vati directly. What Can Be Done---- - Seek medical care immediately — contact her cardiologist or go to the emergency department. - Check blood pressure regularly — note if it remains high despite Mukta Vati. - Do not adjust dosage on your own — especially in elderly patients with heart failure. - Eye check‑up — an ophthalmologist can examine the retina for hypertensive changes. - Diet & routine — continue balanced meals, avoid skipping food when taking medicines.

Mukta vati it is better to take after food as it is a herbo mineral combination.your stomach maybe sensitive to this dose. It will settle down, don’t worry Keep your BP. Under normal. If same problem persists for more than 36 hrs. It is better to see opthalmologist.
