I had an ocular migraine today. I took a dose of Excedrin Migraine and rested for 30 minutes until the symptoms went away. I don t get migraines other than ocular migraines, and I rarely get those...may one or two a year at most. When it happens, I get blind spots in the left side of my field of vision with zig-zag flashing color patterns. There is no pain until the migraine has passed, then I have a mild headache that lasts for maybe another 30 minutes. Today was a little odd, though, because about an hour after taking the medicine, my left hand went numb with a bit of a tingly pins-and-needles sort of feeling. This lasted for around 15-20 minutes, and then things went back to normal. I was sitting at my desk typing on the computer at the time, so it s possible my hand just went to sleep due to poor posture - BUT - I haven t had that happen before, and since I had just had the ocular migraine, I was a little concerned there may be something more serious going on. I called my optometrist and spoke to the assistant. She told me there wasn t anything they could do after the symptoms had passed...and if the symptoms had passed, I wasn t in danger of anything they would be looking for like a detached retina. I also called my doctor and left a message with the assistant there, but the doctor didn t return my call. The entire episode lasted about 1 hour 15 minutes, and I ve had no further symptoms for 6 hours. How concerned should I be right now?
