Suggest Treatment For Chronic Migraine
I suffer from migraines, I have for several years. I am currently seeing floaters out of my right eye and feel tingling and twitching on the left side of my face. I m guessing it s the onset of a migraine. I just took Maxalt, (first time taking it) it was just recently prescribed to me by a new doctor I m seeing. I was referred to see a neurologist but won t be seen until March. I ve never really had an aura like most people or had these symptoms before. It is worrying me.

Hello
The floaters you mentioned need an examination by an ophthalmologist at the earliest. No need to be alarmed as most of these floaters are due to benign reasons.
Coming to the tingling and numbness of the face along with twitching. This could be a part of the aura of migraine but in very rare cases. I would suggest that you should undergo a MRI should your neurologist feel so.
Hope this helps.
