Question

Can stress cause you to pop a blood vessel in your eye?

Answer 1

Being stressed out can indeed cause a blood vessel in your eye to pop causing blood in eyes which can cause blurred vision and even complete loss of sight if not treated.

A popped blood vessel in the eye is a medical emergency so always seek medical treatment when you have or think you have a blood vessel popped in your eye.

When you're stressed out your blood pressure tends to rise and when your blood pressure rises it puts pressure on the blood pressure and when those blood vessels get too much blood pressure the blood vessels then pop because they can't withstand the pressure.

You should always have your blood pressure regularly checked with you can also do at home.

A normal blood pressure range is around 120 over 80 and when it starts to get above 120 over 80 then your blood pressure is getting high and you should start getting it lowered.

If you can't lower the blood pressure at home you should seek medical treatment because high blood pressure can cause serious problems including the popped blood vessel in the eyes and heart disease as well as heart attacks and strokes.

You can take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to help lower blood pressure or mix a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water and drink that to lower your blood pressure.

When you feel stressed out do what you can to relax because stress can also cause serious problems.

Answer 2

A broken blood vessel in the eye is known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage which is bleeding underneath the conjunctiva.

The broken blood vessel in the eye can occur after a sudden or severe sneeze or cough, heavy lifting, straining, vomiting, or even rubbing one's eyes too roughly.

It can also occur as a side effect of eye surgery or blood thinners.

The main symptom is a bright red patch in the eye that may spread and then become green or yellow, much like a bruise.

Usually it disappears within two weeks.

In most cases, no treatment is required for this condition.

Call your doctor if the blood doesn't go away in 2 or 3 weeks, if you also have pain or vision problems, if you have more than one subconjunctival hemorrhage, or if the blood is anywhere inside the colored part of your eye (iris).

In most cases a broken or burst blood vessel in the eye takes around 10 days to heal and usually requires no medical attention.

If you're worried though you could go to the emergency room or see your doctor about the broken blood vessel in the eye just to make sure everything is okay.

A broken or burst blood vessel in the eye is known medically as a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

A subconjunctival hemorrhage or broken blood vessel in the eye can be caused by several different things such as high blood pressure, stress, violent coughing, heavy sneezing and heavy lifting as well as laughing too hard which can put stress on your blood vessels and lead to the eye blood vessel bursting.

Most times it's not serious and resolves on it's own within 10 days but if it lasts longer than 10 days it would be best to see a doctor or go to urgent care or the emergency room.
