Dang, I had smoked salami, cubes of cheddar cheese, hersheys miniatures, and a pepsi yesterday. No wonder.

I’ve been getting these more often, and they seem to be lasting longer every time… my doctor wasn’t able to schedule me in until September … it’s so strange the way it affects your vision but it’s the anxiety for me. That’s the worst.

[dendenc]

they checked my eyes, and said they are healthy. But still I sometimes see those kaleidoscope shapes

[fredbecvar]

I get them regularly. Also have a DMV in my left temprol lobe. Check into that if you suffer my migraine headaches. Been having this issue for over 50 years

Fluorescent lights trigger them for me. I have to turn off any that are above a desk that I am working at.

Ok so on the top of your wrist there is a “CHI BUTTON” go to your knob or wrist bone and move your finger directly towards the center of your wrist you’ll feel a little indent press there for 5 mins intermittently on 5 sec off 5 secs then do the same on the middle of your palms but press harder in the center of your palm though almost a lil pain is needed this will take the edge off if not alleviate it

im doing it as I’m typing and my vision is already losing the zig zags and star hole lol 😅 as I call it! Now I have full vision just sense the starting of typing this comment acupressure is the way look it up there is a nadi or chi point for any DIS-EASE YOU COME ACROSS

Recently I suffered from a horrendous migraine that resulted in nausea and vomiting one day and then the following day, during the late evening,  I experienced those zigzag lights/lines but without any pain ! It was a scary thing because I am in my early 50s and have suffered with migraines for 45+ years and yet this was the first time that these lights appeared. Most of these utube videos talk about the lights happening before a headache begins but this wasn't the case for myself.

Long term poor sleep trigger mine. Blood pressure goes way up for about 20 minutes after one.

Started getting these two years ago after bad bout of the flu, had one week later after recovery then two last year and then this morning. First time nearly scared me to death but learned to just breathe and let it past which means less painful headache afterwards . Logged my last two so know trigger was sleep and stress

I think him saying its reaction to foods is huge! Im goin to cut way down on coffee and other things
Thank you

My doctor says i have these, my vision gets dimmed, and I have emense pressure and pain in the middle of my eye, with the pain subsiding to my head after 2-4 hours. I normally have one once a month where I can just take Tylenol and take a nap ill be fine. However, the past couple of days I have been playing tennis which means I have direct eye contact with the sun more then usual, I am also underdrinking water and eating less. Ive had two this week. Is this normal? And what should I do if I get another one? Also these can be symptoms of regular migraines for me so should I be worried?

I got diagnosed with this but when I black out I really can't see nothing and it's dark like if the world ended and it stays for 30 minutes and it takes 30 minutes for it too reappear but I had 20 20 vision now it blurred vision all day long like my eyes is trying to focus it's really scary and I it's really disabling cause i had to quit my job because i had to use safety glasses to see the product I think this disabled me because I could be driving and I have children to stay alive for people like me and others need an answer on how to really treat this and you dont want to keep taking meds for it so I recommend along time help.

[plarkin]

I think its helping but I didnt finish the comment
Thank you!

I had colored like zig zags on the side of my eye but first I had blind spots with colored zig zags then 10min later it comes again but without the blind spots😔

[Ambina]

Yesterday I suddenly ran a cross country loop, and another 2 miles. Then I ate chocolate chip cookies, and at night I had cranberry cereal. I did this to myself. I usually get the Disgusting crescent aura, then the EVIL headache in my right forehead, then I puke a LOT. Still going to musical practice today.

I get retinal migraine in only in one eye and only in the mornings before noon. Never later. Lasts for 10-15 min followed by headache/no headache. What could be a possible trigger?
