Headache help!
in Health ·
I’m looking for anyone who has dealt with something similar to comment on this—here’s the situation...
A few days ago, a translucent spot appeared in the upper right corner of my field of vision. It was flickering slightly, and as time passed, the spot grew larger and drifted toward the center until it basically bled out, blurring my sight. After about 20 minutes, the visual disturbances cleared up completely, but then I was hit with a headache centered right at the base of my skull. Even simple things like bending over became painful due to the pressure.
I’ve had this shimmering spot in my vision before, and usually, after about 15 minutes, everything returns to normal—I can go back to work and function just fine. This is the first time the headache has actually followed the visual episode...
Is this just some physiological quirk, or am I looking at something more serious?!
thanks
