Headache, Numbness In The Left Side Of Face Following Blurriness In Eyes. Serious?
I've had a headache and numbness for about 8 hours now. It started behind my left eye and made vision in my left eye blurry. Then the vision cleared up after about 30 minutes but the pain has gradually spread throughout the left side of my face and neck causing numbness. Could this be a sign of something serious or just a migraine?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. In our clinic we commonly see patients with migraine presenting like the above you have mentioned. But always keep in mind that you need to get ruled out from other brain pathologies too by having a MRI scan. Try to consult a neurologist and let him take the detailed examination for this. If it is only migraine then there is nothing much to worry about it but you need to take prophylaxis treatment for that to get some free interval. Thank you.
