My DD started wearing glasses at 12. She’s very tall , and grew quickly. Optician said she probably needed glasses due to large growth spurts in a short time.
When she turned 13 she mentioned seeing circles for couple seconds. I made a mental note, but thought fine.
A few months later she said she sees waves, circles, circle inside a circle and her vision goes dark. These happen separately from eachother, and last a few seconds.
She said it happens at random. She could be walking, or sitting then suddenly she sees funny shapes or vision goes dark momentarily.
She felt fine otherwise, and I decided to get it checked at opticians. He did a thorough test, and couldn’t see anything wrong with her eyes.
A week later she suddenly yelled ‘oow’ and started having head pressure middle of head lasting 15 seconds. We were sitting at a cafe eating at the time.
It happened again following day but at the side of her head this time.
A Google search said this needs to be checked out urgently , and I was so worried about permanent vision loss. We went to A&E. Her blood pressure was low, but other than checking that, they did not test anything else or do an mri. The drs said this doesn’t sound urgent at all although I explained about new symptoms of head pressure.
DD now saying her vision darkening, and seeing shapes is happening more frequently. No other symptoms such as nausea , headaches etc . It doesn’t seem to match description of migraine as once it goes, she can continue about her day. Vision darkening and seeing shapes now is happening a few times a day. It was the new symptom of head pressure that’s been really worrying me.
Am I over reacting? I don’t like thinking something going on (they refused to do head scan) and I’m just leaving it without not knowing what exactly is causing all these problems.
