This is the third time I’ve posted over the last few days but haven’t gotten any responses. I’m going to try again. In the past, you have been very helpful to me. I am a bit disappointed that I haven’t gotten any responses. I really needed some support, and still do.
I had a quick visual episode last Wednesday night. I looked at a bright light And then walked into a dark Hall. The after image of the light was bright and rainbow colored, like looking through a prism, instead of simply white like I’m used to seeing. It lasted maybe three seconds. It really scared me. My husband began getting migraine auras just Before he was diagnosed with cancer. The aura happened because his cancer had spread to his brain.
I have complex ptsd and don’t trust myself. I already had My yearly physical with my physician scheduled for tomorrow. So, I will bring this up to him. ( I also had a full eye exam four months ago.) Knowing my doctor, he will likely ask me if I want have tests, etc. I’m undecided as to what to tell him.
I don’t think I had a migraine aura. It seemed to be associated with looking at a bright light and then perhaps going into the dark. I’m 59, so I’m old to start having auras.
I’m just wondering if this could be an anxiety issue. Have you any of you ever experienced anything like this before?
Thank you.
