Flashing Shadows In Vision, Happens When Getting Migraine, Things Are Hard To Focus. Solution?
I have been experiencing some flashing shadows in my vision . Usually I have noticed them when I get a migraine-I get them real bad. Lately I have gotten them when I dont have a headache of any kind. They are not painful other than when they are with a HA. I can see through them, but things are sometimes hard to focus on through the shadows. They pulse with my heartbeat-(I can see my heartbeat in the shadows) I dont know what triggers them, they are more prevelent when in a well lit area or looking into light like at computer or bright room.

Dear user
Hello
Flashing shadows in vision are one of the common prodromal symptoms of Migraine. There is no treatment for flashing shadows. They will decrease with treatment of Migraine. If migraine is recurrent you need to take prophylactic drugs to prevent acute migraine and you need to avoid the triggerring factors.
