Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam,
Welcome to Health care Magic
It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of seeing blind spot with colored halos which resolve spontaneously followed by dizziness, light headedness, ringing in ears....
The common causes to be considered are fainting, transient ischemic attacks, migraine...
The common causes for fainting are decreased blood pressure called as hypotension, decrease level of hemoglobin in blood called as anemia, decreased level of hydration called as hypovolemia...
The common causes for transient ischemic attacks are vascular diseases affecting the carotid arteries, peripheral vascular diseases....
The prodromal symptoms of primary headaches like migraine is the other important cause to be ruled out.
Since these symptoms are recurrent for last one month this requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly depending on the cause.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
