Can any1 help Disagnos and or give ideas what might be wrong with me?

Question

Hi, for a few years now I ahve beeen getting "migraines" every few months. I ahd 1 earlier today, and I don't think its a migrane no matter what the quack of a doctor hsas. THe symptons are as followed

:Blurred vision
:Followed by a bad ehadache
:Followed by a sore head ( unable to shack or move fast etc.)

But lately I ahve gotten 1 and it went away with a minor headache. I currently have 1 ( I ahd 1 earlier in SChool. I am vaugely making out the keys on the keyboard)

I need to know what this is and if tehres anything I can take for the Vision Defects and the ehadache.

PS: I was also told a nurse works with someone that gets this (that has glasses like me) and hes said to be going blind. Can this be happening to me even if I am only 14??

yeah since i can't find a reply button :P thanks for the answers. Yeah I'v had this for a few years but elarned to usually deal with it. My parents do know and do take me to the doctor. Since they aren't often enough to use a migrane specific medicine. And I already ahve glasses. BUt with the black dots, blurry vision, I do get that. Aswell as the vomiting. Again thanks for the answers :) *still looks for reply button*

Answer 1

Blurred vision and vomiting followed by a bad headache and sensitivity to head motion is a classic migraine. The whole process (blur, vomiting, headache, post headache sensitivity) is a migraine attack. Sometimes you won't get everything, so a migraine can occur with just one or two elements; for example: the visual effects and no headache, mild headache and mild visual effects, vomiting and "spacey" feeling etc.

Migraines are not related to needing or not needing glasses. Some people find they are triggered by some things. Common triggers are hormones (premenstrual or with ovulation), foods, lack of sleep, weather changes.

There are prescription medications you can take just as the attack starts that will stop it and other medications that you take every day to help prevent them. You can keep a headache diary and try to identify your triggers and then avoid them.

See your doctor again (don't call him a quack as he had the right diagnosis) and ask him about medication.

Answer 2

I really don't think you have to worry about going blind. It sounds to me like you're describing migraine headaches. I have them too and have had them for years. Its very common for migraines to start out with visual problems, such as blurry or double vision, seeing flashes of light or strange colors, or even floating, black dots. One of my pupils (black circles in our eyes) gets big while the other gets small when I'm having a migraine. I get very nauseated and throw up sometimes too. It sounds like you need to talk to your parents about getting you back to see your doctor to see if there is something you can take to better control your headaches. I feel bad for you to be so young and have migraines, but you're not alone. My daughter has had them since she was 7 years old.

I hope this helps to put your mind at ease.

Answer 3

You might need glasses the same thing happened to me.

Answer 4

I honestly have no idea. Does your parent/guardian know about this?? Please tell them so they can take you to the doctor.
