Hi All
i am not very happy at the minute :( after going 20 months without a visual migraine I have now had 2 in a week.
the first was one in the middle of the night but I justified it as I was on holiday drinking more alcohol, not taking magnesium, hormones (just before period) and change to sleep patterns. It lasted about 20 mins so normal length and then I felt a bit rough the next day but overall ok.
however a week later I was on the excercise bike and noticed a small blind spot, then the wavy line started and I knew it was happening again. I rushed back to the hotel room and sat in the dark and I think it lasted about 5 minutes.
i have since read that a “red flag” is an aura that lasts less than 5 minutes. I am now terrified it is a brain tumour as I read a study on presenting symptoms of brain tumour, I have no reason for why the second migraine occurred.
are your migraines always the same length and same eye?
