Suggest Treatment For Temporary Visual Disturbances While Having Migraine
Question: i have a migraine attake last week since than u see like clods in my eyes & some spots in my head i have pain us this normal
Brief Answer:
Read below.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Visual changes are very common in migraine patients, can happen before, during or even after the pain. At times patients have visual changes without being followed by pain even.
As for the painful spots, from I understand these are painful patches on your scalp, correct? In that case you shouldn't be much worried, such patchy distribution is not characteristic of brain lesions. Often due to muscle tension, may be exacerbated by stress and anxiety as well. Over the counter Ibuprofen should help with it.
So to resume if there are no other signs you shouldn't panic. If symptoms persist though there is no harm in seeing your primary physician to check for other possible signs you might have missed, just to make sure, especially if this attack was your first one (as opposed to having been already diagnosed with migraine for some time).
I remain at your disposal for other questions.

Hello again!
As I said visual phenomena are common in people suffering from chronic migraine, so you shouldn't overworry.
However, if this is the first time you've had such phenomena and they are persistent, then yes, it would be prudent to get checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Let me know if I can further assist you.
