What Could Frequent Migraines With Blurry Vision Suggest?

Hello, I have recently been suffering migraines with aura, they have only become regular during the last couple of years. It s usually starts with me no being able to see things properly or flashing colours then occasionally I find myself unable to read and spell things. Followed by the really bad headache for around 24 hours after. Iv put this down to me using smart phones, laptops, TV etc more than I used to or lack of sleep and possibly needing to go for an eye test as Iv noticed that certain colours together make me strain my eyes (e.g red writing on a blue background) and also reading things on the projector screen during university lectures, but deep down I am worrying it could be a symptom of something more serious

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry about this. Your symptoms are very much suggestive of migraines and there is no reason to think otherwise. Other possible causes of headache which are more concerning would not give symptoms typical of migraine. Since you ave several episodes in a short time, I will recommend that your doctor considers getting you on preventive treatment so as to improve your quality of life. Please, ask your doctor about this added option.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more clarifications and information if need be.
