To think it was a migraine

[notnow2]

I had an episode of broken vision and flashing lights in one eye only. It lasted 30 mins. Now I have a headache (moderate), feel nauseous, lightheaded, weak and tired.

Called my mum who said as the aura was only in one eye it wasn't a migraine and is freaking me out about tumours, and strokes.

I feel like it must have been a migraine even though I have only had 3 in my life.

Hi

It is worth mentioning to the doctor, as they may want to do a MRI before saying for definite it is a migraine. It is unlikely to be a stroke or a tumour, but it's always worth ruling these out, although if you have no other symptoms and it came with a headache, this is by far the most likely cause. Your dr might just tell you to come back if it repeats, but it's always worth a mention.

At 33 they'd be happy it was a migraine, especially as it's got better.

I don't think anyone would refer you for a scan unless you had lots of episodes or one didn't properly resolve.

It's definitely not consistent with the story of a brain tumour at the moment.
