In the past year I’ve been having reoccurring vision loss in one eye that would disappear before experiencing painful headaches, eye pain, and vomiting.

I’ve visited my family doctor about this, but i received no diagnosis and was told to take Tylenol. I’m not sure of this is a big deal but the fact it’s happening repeatedly is concerning me. i Searched the internet and it says it might be an ocular migraine, and I wanted to ask here to get opinions

what usually happens is that a dark splotch would appear in my vision, really similar to when you stare at a light too long. it’ll usually last 10 minutes Then after 20 ish minutes I’d get a really bad headache And a sharp pain behind my left eye specifically. I’ll usually sleep until it goes away, occasionally waking up and throwing up.

like in the title idk which program i want to go to.

i don’t have much of a bias towards either. I live about the same distance from each other. The only thing is that I heard western med sci you need to reapply every year which I feel like is a lot of unnecessary stress, and makes me worry if making it to the fourth year is too slim of a chance.

in the future I want to be a dentist, which requires a high gpa. my plan b is optometrist or teacher.

does anyone have any guidance or resources i can use to research? anything helps that can help me make a decision
