Brief Answer:
Cerebrovascular disease should be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your attached query in detail.

Headache in your case should be carefully evaluated as it was associated with vision disturbances.

Conditions like glaucoma can present similarly. it had to ge ruled out through Fundus eye examination. Likewise certain conditions of the brain like cerebrovascular disease should be ruled out through MRI SCAN OF BRAIN.

Hence its important to get the above tests at the earliest.

Consultation with a Neurologist is mandatory for further evaluation.

Further evaluation is largely based on test reports.

Post your further questions if any.

Thank you
