How To Treat Headaches, Blurred Vision And Visual Hallucinations?
Hey, For the past few months I have been going through severe headaches, which can lead to blurred vision in my left eye. These are also brought on after a short period of visual hallucinations. The characters and objects visualized, are usually people or animal, even the odd occasional ghost like creature. I also have experienced sounds and talking lightly in these episodes. Any help or advice would be greatly helpful, as it is starting to worry me and scare me.
