Chronic Sudden Vision Loss!!?

Question

For the last month my eyes have been hurting when I move them almost constantly. About twice a week and getting more frequent, I feel a popping sensation then my vision goes out. It stays out between 10-17 HOURS then it comes back with a popping sensation. I have now started feeling light headed and nauseas. I went to a neurologist and they diagnosed it as migraine but it doesn’t fit for several reason one is that it last for hours.
What should I do?

Answer 1

WOW thats SCARY!! MY best advise to you is have a cat scan done.. this sounds SERIOUS.. dont mean to alarm you or anything but honestly.. that is definatly NOT RIGHT!.. go ASAP before anything else happens.. good thing your smart to follow what ur intuition is tellin u

Answer 2

Chronic means pretty much all the time. Sudden means *blink* symptoms.

Honestly, I get blind with some migraines. Are you on meds now? Most of the migraines I get that blind me are food related (other factors as well, but chocolate sometimes makes me blind if I'm on my way to a migraine). If you're too unsure, you can always get a second opinion. But your symptoms are exactly what mine are. I've had migraines that lasted over three days, myself.

Another help might be a chiropractor. Find a reliable one in your area. I often have neck problems that cause my migraines. The instant I get adjusted, every symptom goes away. If you don't know of a good one or don't have family/friends who go, you can click on the site below and scroll down until you see How to Find a Good Chiropractor.

I hope this helps!!

I might venture to say that your plan hasn't built in the space for dealing with these real, unavoidable, unpredictable challenges. You inch toward your vision by always working toward goals that are in line with the vision. Sometimes you have to delay, or change a desired goal because it simply is not attainable at the moment, under particular conditions. But that does not mean you cannot do anything to help toward your vision. Don't make the mistake of confusing the plan for the vision. My own vision started later in my life - well after I had other obligations. Right now I cannot work directly on the next phase of this vision because of some of these obligations to others - which was not my plan. However, I have arranged a way to keep myself working within my vision while I am fulfilling my obligations. When the time comes for the next step of the plan, I will be even more prepared. Or I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

Answer 4

NOT a cat scan...have an MRI done...it looks at everything. Your Dr. can't just diagnose u without doing these tests and if he hasn't do not ever go back!! You need to see a neurologist and an eye doctor...not ears, nose , and throat!
God bless! Check 4 signs of Multiple sclerosis...do a search on it!!

Answer 5

Migraines can last from 12 hours to 5 days.

If you're dissatisfied with the diagnosis then go to another doctor.

Answer 6

Migraine can last for days and it is an obvious answer. I would definately seek a second opinion though as since you've had it for weeks. Good luck.

Answer 7

Migraines last for hours. And by the way, chronic and sudden are mutually exclusive.

Answer 8

Go to another neurologist to get a second opinion.
