I am having trouble with my vision..

I was getting headaches last week, which i rarley ever get them. Then last Sunday I saw what look like zigzags in my vision..its very hard to describe and expalain. It went away quickly but now I am experiencing it again but not zigzags more like spots, like if you had your picture taken and the flash blinded you. I can still see but its harder to focus and sometimes it gets to where it is hard to make out words. I am getting really nervous and know I need to call the Dr. I just want to know if anyone has experienced this??

Re: I am having trouble with my vision..

I have. They were eye migraines.

They come and go maybe twice a year..headache and then spots.

Go to an ophalmologist.

I get them very rarely now though.

Good luck.

Re: I am having trouble with my vision..

can be a migraine aura...without the headache if you arent having pain. in the meantime if you you cant get to doc right away...try to check your blood pressure...and call you doc asap if this is something new! feel better xoxo

Re: I am having trouble with my vision..

I would get that and then the migraine would follow. I've even gotten dizzy from it.

Re: I am having trouble with my vision..

ocular migraines.. I used to get them.

Re: I am having trouble with my vision..

Thanks ladies!! Yea I have no pain when this happens to me..sometimes dizzy..I am going to def check my blood pressure since it was extremely high when I had DD and right after..I made a Dr. appointment and will update you with the results. Thank you for all your responses!

Re: I am having trouble with my vision..

Optical Migraine or Visual Migraine

I get them a handful of times a year.

I have no headache whatsoever with them.

They last for 20 - 30 minutes.

I had first one when I was in 6th grade.

Didn't have another until after my son was born and I was 31.

If this is what you are experiencing, they are nothing to worry about. Good luck!
