What Do Headache, Light Flashes In The Right Eye And Fatigue Indicate?
Question: Headache. Flashing lights in right eye fatigue
Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I have reviewed your information fully. If this is a recent happening, it represents migraine and should resolve within 72hours. Acetaminophen at doses of 1000mg every 8hours would be enough to control the symptoms.
If this is something that has been going on for long or there is a severe pain on one side of the head with decreased vision, you must seek prompt consultation as this could represent a less benign disease condition called temporal arteritis.
Let me hear back from you and how you are fairing/recovering.

I have flashes of colors in my right eye. Is this a common sympton.
Brief Answer:
Book an appointment to see an ophthalmologist!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If these flashes are of recent occurrence, you need to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. If they have been there for several months or years, then there is no reason to see an eye specialist now.
Flashes suggest irritation of the retina and needs prompt evaluation and care.
I wish you well.
