What Causes Visual Aura In The Line Of Vision With Migraine Headache?
For the past 24 hours I keep smelling rotten oranges. Also a few hours ago a had a visual aura in my lower left line of vision, which was followed by a migraine headache and feeling very nauseas. I had about three migraines a few years ago but this is my first one since then. I have never had the orange smell though so this concerns me

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having visual aura with migraine headache.
Migraine headache is usually associated with aura symptoms which precede the headache. The common aural symptoms are visual aura with symptoms like flashes of light, zig zag lines in front of the eyes....
These symptoms will decrease with the treatment of migraine.
The treatment is by use of flunarizine or propranolol....
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
