Hello

I have studied your case,

These symptoms could be due to vascular occlusion around carotid vessels..
Colour Doppler may help in diagnosis.
If required CT angiography may help.

You need to immediately consult your treating doctor and do required investigations.

Clinical examination is important to rule out temporal arteritis and migraine.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
