What Causes Headache Along With Vision Problem?

This afternoon along with a slight headache that I did not bother to treat, I noticed a difference in my vision. While driving I looked up to see the traffic light looked like it had another traffic light image superimposed over it, but slightly askew. Like two transparencies of the same image laying over each other but not lined up exactly. I have not taken over the counter migrain medicine and waiting to test my vision when I get relief. What else should I do? I am 68 but in great shape. No meds for anything.

Hi dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache along with vision problem . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as Meniere's disease , symptoms of some condition like stroke or migraine . Meniere’s disease is a disorder that affects the inner ear. Meniere's disease is the result of the abnormal volume or composition of fluid in the inner ear. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order tests like audiometry test , electronystagmography test and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) testing to confirm the diagnosis and rule out condition like acoustic neuroma and otitis media . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , steroids , antiemetic drug and meniett device . Doctor may also order CT scan for sinus to rule out sinusitis . Doctor may also refer you to ophthalmologist for eye problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
