What Causes Blurred Vision Followed By Headache And Vomiting?

I am 33 year old. Yesterday I had some wavy blurred vision, which cleared away after half an hour, then headach (not very severe) started and vomiting. I had this this type of experiece before, but not frequent. First time I had it when I was 26 year old. That time I use to have it once in a month for 3 months, then for a long time I didn't face this proble. After that, I had this type of problem 3 to four times in last 7 years, and every time blurred vision was follwed by headache and vomiting. Please advice.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having wavy blurred vision followed by headache and vomiting.
These symptoms are characteristically seen in migraine. The visual symptoms like seeing wavy lines, blurring of vision... are seen in prodromal phase or aura of migraine.
The treatment is by use of antimigraine drugs.
Since you are having these symptoms for long duration you require to use prophylactic drugs like flunarizine or beta blockers.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
