Brief Answer:
Go to ER

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

This could be a migraine with a scintillating scotoma as part of it, but as I am gathering that what is happening is new for you, and that the headache is severe, I advise that you go in to the ER right now to be evaluated.

I would be happy to answer any further questions you might have, but right now, I don't want to delay your being evaluated.

Brief Answer:
Can't see attachments

Detailed Answer:
Hello -

I don't see any attachments. You can send them to me by using the "Upload Reports" tab or by sending them to customer service and asking them to send them to me. There will be a delay of several hours if you send them to me by way of customer service. Another option is to copy and paste it into the text of your response to me.

I'll take a look at them then - thanks.
