can't see properly does it sound like migraine?

[Boco]

if bad typing because squinting. 3 hours aog started all wavy lights and flashing down on e side even wwith eyes shut stripy moving bits and starring feel sick. Don't get migrains usually but does this sound like it you think?
Tis rather stupid as propbably won't be able to resad if repiees anyway but driving me mad now.

Boco my brother once had a migraine as part of a virus - he only ever had this one migraine in his life afaik. You may be lucky and only ever have this one.

Mine I believe are hormone related - started at the age of 10 and since the age of 13 there has been a strong link to my cycle.

I was on the combined pill for a while (years ago) as my GP rather unwisely said it would be ok. I used to get several awful migraines a month as the hormones really affected me. I was fine on the mini pill. During pg I had several, really bad because I couldn't take anything bar paracetamol.

Diet doesn't seem to affect mine. Occasionally if I am due on and have a glass of wine this may trigger an "underlying" migraine, but generally I can tolerate a couple of glasses of wine etc. I try to drink plenty of other fluids generally, as I know dehydration can be a factor in migraine.I also eat/snack regularly to try and keep blood sugar levels fairly stable.

Lack of sleep is another major trigger, thankfully for me b/feeding seems to help me avoid migraines so even though dd2 has me up in the night still I haven't so far had a migraine as a result.

Just telling you all this in case any of it is helpful?

Thanks for advice - will follow if get this again. Would hope it's like lollis brother adn a one off. Couyd be stress as have felt a bit weird for a while.

one odd think is swelling around eyes - is that normal? eyelids swollen and puffy. maybje just as still can'f focus very well.

I get the visual disturbances but no headache. If you have to be up and about in the house wear sunglasses, I found this helped a little. Sorry I can't help on the swelling, I've not had that part of it before. I hope you feel better soon.

Have never had swollen eyes with a migraine, only if I have been crying as well.

I would suggest going to GP tomorrow if still not right.
