Hi
I had a strange experience yesterday. I was talking to a colleague at work and noticed a bright zig-zag shaped light at one side of my vision. At first I thought it was some kind of reflection from the vertical and horizontal blinds at the side of me - the sun was shining through and I thought it had dazzled me a bit
But after I returned to my desk, it continued and I noticed that the area inside the zig zags was fragmented and as if I was looking through water. It only lasted around five minutes but it was really weird. Afterwards I felt really tired and weary right up until the evening.
Had I been someone who had suffered from migraines, I wouldn't have been worried as it seemed to fit in with how I've heard them described. But I've never had a migraine in my life. In fact I don't even get ordinary headaches all that often.
Someone told me about something called retinal migraine (they don't always include headaches) bu it seems odd that I have got this out of the blue with no previous history of migraine - especially at my age (I'm 58).
You know what's coming next - I am starting to think about brain tumours. :ohmy:
