A chunk of my vision appeatrs to be missing, panicing here, any reason.

[thexmasstockingmonsterofdoom]

This happened when I was pregnant with dd2 and I had a mini stroke, never fully recovered but cant normally tell, right now a chunk in the middle of my vision seems really foggy and I am struggling to red the screen, reassure me please.

A&E ASAP

Get OFF the internet!

cant, on my own with 2 dc and in the middl of cooking tea. dh will be home about 6pm. cantquite work out what is not right but something is foggy or being filled in iywim.

Have you got a headache?

A & E for you when dh gets home then or at least ring NHS direct.

After a mini stroke I would say stuff tea, call an ambulance and get DH to meet you at the hospital. A&E will give the kids sandwiches and water.

I hope it's nothing back socks, but please sort it out, I'm worried now.

no head ache, nhs direct site says a migraine, dont think my face is collapsy but cant really see it properly in morror to work out,k i think my friend is home as she has just logged on computer, going to call her to come round.

back bad

could be start of a migraine.

Have you banged your head or rubbed your eyese or something. I am wondering about your retina detaching.

I agree though, whatever the cause, get an ambulance. The sooner any of these things are treated the better the outcome. Put some fruit in a bag for the children. They won't suffer for not having a cooked tea one evening. Please don't let be the thing that stops you.

go to A&E. Might be a detatched retina or an eye infection but not possible to tell until a doc sees you.

cant quite put my finger on what is wrong, I get migraine a lot, but not useually visual ones. friend is coming round so I wont be alone if anything bad happens. probably just a mnigraine, I am a drama queen.

I get this with migraines, sometimes without the headache.

Take two ibuprofen, switch the dinner off and quickly bang togeher some sandwiches for the kids, and LIE DOWN ON THE SOFA with your eyes shut if you can.

It is EXACTLY what happened last time I had a migraine though. Go to A&E if you want though, in fact ignore me and just go.

stil here nothing getting any worse so hopefully OK. friend says face not droopy and speech is fine.

Do get checked out anyway but this might help put your mind at rest. tests for stroke An article in the the Stroke Assoc mag interprets these test as 'smile, put your arms up in the air and count backwards from 10 to 1.

thank you, all those test fine, friend thinks migraine, had some tablets and I am deffo feeling a bit less disoriented.

Ok feeling fine now, panic over. now trying to pice something together, will ask later.

Hope you are feeling better - it sounds exactly like what I get before a migraine. I get a weird feeling that my hand doesn't belong to me and then my vision goes just like as you say - can't see half of anything. Then the lights start all prism-like and zig-zaggy. I don't actually get the headache but feel totally washed out afterwards.

sounds a bit like an ocular migraine - I had one of these earlier this year very scary. Two black things in my vision followed by wavy lines - lasted about 20 mins very scary.

Hope I never get one again. Hope you are Ok now

woke up in the night with the same again in the middle of the night, OK now though, must be my xmas migraine, I remember my mum always had one.

Thexmas - are you short sighted? I only ask because I am (very) and the optician told me that if I had any visual disturbances at all to go straight to A+E because it could be a detached retina. One of the symptoms she mentioned was a veil or cloud obscuring part of my vision.

However, I also get migraines where part of my vision just disappears for a while (usually about 20 minutes) so it could well be that too. Hope you feel OK for rest of day (and holiday!)

No, I am long sighted so think that should be ok, vision is fine this morning, was very odd and quite scary yesterday. I think if I hadnt had the problems in pregnancy I wouldnt have thought that much about it, but I paniced, I really didnt want to go to A & E as I was scared they would keep me in and I am petrified of hospitals.

Glad you are better now. How scary for you.

I get this roughly every month and it is a sign of a migraine coming on. I take 2 paracetamol straight away and another one about 20 mins later. Then i just get a very dull headache for a few hours.
