Could The Blind Spots In The Peripheral Vision With Migraine Be A Matter Of Concern?

Hello I am on here just wondering on something I had experienced just a few times growing up I am 19 years old. When I was about 12 years old I experienced a blind spot in my eye which grew to my peripheral vision and I could not see. From there I developed a bad migraines and my fingers when numb along with my face. This hasnt happened a lot in the past 7 years , the last time it happened was about 3 years ago. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had vision problems like like appearance of blind spot associated with migraine.
No need to worry regarding this as these usually occur in migraine as a part of prodromal phase or aura.
These are self limiting and will respond with treatment for migraine, hence no need to worry.

Thank you
