Eye Health & Optometry : Strange Ocular Migraine Symptoms

I was told (and have researched) that migraine attacks are caused by vasodialation, not vasoconstriction. That is why normal headache medication (which cause vasodialtion to counter the vasoconstriction of the headache) actually make migraine attacks worse.

I only just discovered what they were called after 12 years of having them. I get the tunnel vision blur which moves to the side eventually and then disappears, with no headache or pain. Lasts about 15 mins normally give or take. Only happens a few times year. It's really nothing to worry about unless your driving but could be annoying if it happened during exams or an eyetest for a drivers licence renewal.

Im in the unfortunate 80% who get the headache with this, only whenever i get one, i always go dizzy and sick and there are like, silver lines flashing down my vision.
If i ever got a migraine during an exam or something, id be screwed. Ive come close to passing out from the dizziness before. Its downright annoying to say the least.

i hate this! I started getting these migranes a few months ago. I'm in high school now and I'm scared that i might get one of these (god forbid) during an exam.

I love the fact you try to trigger another one of my migraines during the video. Anyway, this was really helpful, I'm 15 and started getting these migraines when I was 12. Unfortunately I'm part of the 80% who get the headaches. I'll follow all advice I have obtained thus far and see how my Migraines will evolve. I'm hoping they soon be a distant memory.

oh god I get these too. They are getting so frequent, I don't know what to do!

interesting! I am in the lucky 20% that dont get the headache along with wild visuals, they used to scare the heck out of me and had the anxiety witch only made it worse, I'm 45 and first had one when i was32 maybe and now getting them again,i found out about a year what these are and now rarely get them

wow!!!! i think i have this. I am very worried about this. At first i thought that it could be that im loosing my vision. Then Anxiety and deression hit me. main anxiety problem is this. I dont know what to do. I get soo worried which then shoots my anxiety through the roof. The past two months of my life have been horrible. I have quit my job because of this and now stay home secluded from everyone. And im only 20 years old

Go see an eye doctor, and then your PCP for tests if it's warranted.

omg exactly like me...
