Were those migraines?
Hello everybody!
Before I explain what happened I just want to say that I have a few medical appointments lined up. I have health anxiety so please bear with me.
So, this has happened a few times over the last few years. It starts with a blurry spot in my vision, which then gets bigger and bigger, sort of turns into a big, blurry line that flashes a little. I am still able to see but doing things like texting is a bit of a challenge. After a while the blurry vision stops and I get a headache. Today, the vision thing happened twice and lasted over 30 minutes and the headache was more severe. I'm sure my anxiety made it worse, I was quite scared. It's taking me all day to recover, I felt dizzy, nauseated and exhausted during and after.
The non-emergency service I called advised me to see an eye doctor, which I booked for tomorrow. My GP is sadly kinda useless, and has dismissed my fear of ischemic events without looking into it.
So I just wanted to know if this is an ocular/aura migraine and get some reassurance/advice.
Thank you in advance. Happy to provide more details
