Hello
My daughter suffers with migraines.
Last week she said she had a blotch in one of her eyes and thought she had a migraine starting.
Then she got a very bad headache and felt sick.
Then she said she couldn't see out of the sides of her eyes.
I took her to A and E.
They called the stroke team down to examine her.
It was terrifying.
When they tested her peripheral vision, she couldnt see until the doctor's hand was right in front of her, in each eye. She had no peripheral vision in each eye.
She was also having numbess in her tongue, face, toe and hand on one side of her body too.
They did a quick neuro exam which was fine.
They think it was migraine related.
She was given an anti-sickness injection and a special migraine tablet - a triptan.
They said if her symptoms continue the next day - to come back for an MRI.
After some sleep, her vision started to come back and her headache sarted to go.
The next day, she was fine.
We have a GP appointment tomorrow to discuss this.
I'm so worried that she has a brain tumour or something sinister.
I wondered if anyone else has experienced this sort of vision loss during a bad migraine attack.
Thank you for reading this.
