I can't calm done so scared of it happening again and never been able see again. Please if anyone else has these please message me. Thank you.
You are probably experiencing the migraine aura which is a normal symptom. Calm yourself down by meditating or deep breathing. Then take some Excedrin and lie down in a dark place with a cold compress on your forehead/eyes, sleep if possible. Make sure you are drinking enough water and staying away from stress (the two main causes of migraines). If you have this often, get a prescription from your doctor.
Thank you in so stressed all the time my anxiety is threw the roof all the time always scared something wrong with me now I'm petrified of going blind cause of these migraine I had 2 it 8 weeks so I think God there must be something really wrong with me. Do u have this? X
Hi Kimberly,
I have suffered from opti migraines since 2004. I get a wavy distortion in my eye that lasts from 20-40 minutes. Almost like a kalidascope show in my vision! It just comes out of the blue and whatever I may be doing at the time I have to stop sit or lay down, close my eyes and let it run it’s course. I do not get the migraine headache ever. It is scary but you will not lose your sight. It is a chronic condition however. I would suggest seeing your pcp or opthomologist for a diagnosis. Please don’t be scared it is an extremely common condition! Linda
Hugs, Kimberly!
Look for the best doc you can find if your doc is lazy. You need your vision and migraines are hideous.

I too have visual problems during stress. Stress causes more anxiety for some of us.
Hiya Linda thank you for your reply. I think I just need reassurance no 1 I see to speak to has it. I was at work and I was looking at someone and coyks only see half of there face half of my hand things like that I had a really bad panic attack. Now I'm so on edge if it happening again or going blind. I was meant be at work 2 night and I rang in sick cause I'm so scared xx
Thank you in so scared of going blind x
Hey, did you have this again? I had it 10 days ago twice in one day, really scared xx
I started having the visual disturbances like you without the headache, went to see my optometrist, she told me it’s visual aura, and I have migraines without the headaches, totally normal for some people. Don’t worry!
