The idea is that low blood pressure contributes to attacks and
drugs that lower your blood pressure act most when taken.? Your
blood pressure drops anyway because of sleep and the drugs can add
to that.? So taking them at night increases the risk.?

Could you expand on the morning avoidance of heart
related drugs (i.e., blood pressure management) in the morning?
I've not heard of that before.
I have not, but over the years of this group there have
been a few people who reported more events.? An NO said
that is rare. less than 5%, because the attacks shrink the
optic nerve and improve the disk ratio making another
event very unlikely.? I am bilateral but I have not
relaxed about protecting my vision.? I still do what I can
to defend it like staying away as much as I can from
anything the shrinks the blood vessels and taking any
heart related drug in the morning.

I ?also have NAION in both eyes.
After the first event, I was always told there was only a
15% chance of it recurring in the second eye. The second
event has been tough, but I do still see well enough to
drive in areas I¡¯m familiar with. The question that has
recently come to mine and I plan to ask at my next
appointment is - has anyone had this happen a third time,
worsening the damage in either eye?

I recall reading in my early research that
?amongst all stricken once, chance of second
eye being affected is 15% within 5 years.
Can¡¯t recall the source.

Hi everyone?
?
By reading messages in this group,
I have a feeling that second NAION is
much more common than I expected.?
Is it a misperception? Or is it really
quite common to have a second attack.
I am very worried.

thanks
