Hey all,
I hope you are all okay.
Scared right now and just looking for a bit of advice.
Tuesday night my vision went strange. I had a ziz zaggy small area to the left of my vision which really scared me...of course this then got worse until I couldn't see anything to the left. Was very frightened at the time as never experienced anything like this. It lastes for about 20 minutes. About 3 hours later I got a headache and I have had it since. It does change it goes from mild to severe but overall is getting progressively worse and at 5am this morning I woke with a thudding headache and it's got slightly better since then although it's still bad.
I don't want to start googling as I have fears of brain tumors and I know that it will probably come up that this is one so thought I should turn here for some advice. Do you think this is my first migraine or something more sinister?
I have read a little about auras and migraines etc but mine seems different as the headache didnt come straight on after my visual problems and then it says it can last up to 3 days and I'm almost on day 3 now and it's getting worse not better?
Sorry to ramble on I'm just scared. It's worth mentioning that I did suffer for a 10 weeks straight with tension headaches back in the summer which slowly relieved but this headache pain feels very much different.
Thanks for reading.
