Not sure if this should go into women’s health or menopause??
Does anyone experience ocular migraines/migraine with aura? For me, these must be hormonal related because I first experienced them during pregnancy, now I get them during the first few days of my period. I’m 46 and they seem to be getting more frequent (I track them and seem to have had more this year). They start off as a small ’blob’ or blind spot in my vision and then turn into a zig zag flashing light which gets bigger across my vision. Lasts about 20-30 mins then sometimes I get a headache but sometimes not. I always feel weird and washed out after (I had one last night and still feel tired and spacey this morning). Even though I’ve had them for 14 years on and off and my mum suffered from them they scare the life out of me. I’ve had my eyes tested numerous times and been to the doctors and mentioned this but none of them really seem to understand what I’m talking about, one optician even said it was floaters🙄.
Anyone else get this? Do they get worse in perimenopause?
