i am a migraine sufferer -- usually when i don't get enough sleep and/or skipping meals on top of added stress. usually migraines go away when i take 2 aleve tablets and rest. but there are times when i can't rest -- like when im away from home (school or work) so i just have to bear with it. also i commute, so it takes me a long time to finally lie down and rest. one time i was having severe migraine and i was walking home -- when my vision suddenly went out (complete darkness) and then went back after like 2 or 3 seconds. anybody have any idea going on? on why you would lose vision due to migraine?

My daughter suffered from severe migraines including vision loss, blacking out, fainting, tunnel vision and vomiting. We were never able to find relief for her and I'm not sure the medical world actually has anything to cure this. She tried everything.
We then found an all natural product that has medical validation that she decided to try. She has not had even a mild headache since starting this and no longer worries about fainting at work. This is an adaptogen which works on all auto-immune deficiencies and we have found it works when nothing else did! Contact me if you would like to learn more about it.

I THINK that is something that can happen during a migraine...I suffer from migraines as well but I don't usually have vision problems. However, some of my family members do...it is usually sensitivity to light. It sounds like you blacked out and perhaps you were about to pass out. Extreme pain can do that.
If you are worried, talk to your doctor. He/She may be able to help you with the management of your migraines.
Also...Excedrin for Migraine really works for me.

For a true migraine, you should not be able to continue on with routine things like work or school. Migraines cause dizziness, extreme reactions to light & sound, and severe nausea. Are you sure you are having migraines? Have you been diagnosed by a doctor?

Migraines can be potentially debilitating for those who suffer with them. When did you see your family doctor last? I think it would be a wise idea to make a appointment with him or her. Your doctor will examine you and be able to recommend a specific medication that may help you. There is a wide selection of meds out there, but it is always good to ask your family doctor first.
I've suffered with migraines for most of my life. The proper diet and exercise in combination with the right medications can make a world of difference. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

I've been taking imitrex for almost 10 years now. I have also been prescribed midrin which I still take occasionally, but for the full blown migraine my medication of choice is definately Imitrex. I doubt you will notice any side effects at all. I didn't have much luck with the pill form at first and am now taking the nasal spray which is wonderful, but I've been starting to take the pills again from time to time and they work better than they used to. The only side effect I've ever experienced is from the injection which made me extremely nauseated. I love this medication, just wish it wasn't so expensive!

I'm a migraine sufferer too. At the onset of my headaches I lose about 75% of my vision for about 20 minutes. Don't know if this is comparable or not. I would see a doctor just to be safe.

I had this happen about a month ago.
There was too much pressure on your ocular artery and nerve. I had a complete blackout with bluriness for over a week. My eye pressure was at 24 in my left eye and 11 in my right. All of this was from a migraine.
Talk to your eye doctor. Let him or her know what's going on.

I have severe migraines and I have little black outs every once in a while. It's perfectly normal but if they keep occurring I would make sure to tell your doctor on your next visit.

I have never lost vision, thank God, but I do see an "aura" of flickering light prior to onset of migraine. This is usually not a problem unless it happens when I am driving, it can impair my vision. I also have had to suffer through them while at work. I think it would be a good idea for you to consult a health care professional about the vision difficulties. Best to you..
