What caused a burst blood vessel in the eye?

Question:

I have had a virus/flu and dont feel too good - I am getting bad headaches and now my eye looks horrible!

Answers:
Have you had your blood pressure checked? That can cause that. You should call your doctor and tell him/her that happened.

could have happened when you sneezed, or rubbed your eyes too hard. happens to me in my sleep!

Have you been sneezing or coughing a lot
That will cause it.
Just sounds like typical flu. I am in bed now with that
get well soon

My brother had this problem. It was caused by too much stress/strain on his eyes. It went away, but he had to wear an eye patch for like a week or so.

might be stress - i get this periodically - it looks worse than it is. best to get your blood pressure checked as well as apparently its related to that. if you wear contacts then try to go without for a week or so. it lasts for about ten days, but you should see an improvement from about the fifth day.

Could well be just caused by blowing your nose. Honestly.

Intraoccular pressure may have caused this! Straining to hard to lift something.

I have a friend who gets burst blood vessels in her eye all the time when she gets stressed out.

did you sneeze ,that's usually the reason for it.
