You are so right, win some - lose some. Last week I woke up with a red dot in my left eye (I was at the drs. anyway) and she agreed it was a burst blood vessel but nothing serious. My concerns when I have them are always GCA as I had it last year (undiagnosed of course). Pretty frightening, I may add.
Ear ache has gone now so it must have been just a one off thing. Tnks
